RE: HTTP 500 Error

QTMHHTTP = Server HTTP Surfer profile... he (or she!) needs access to READING 
all the stuff.. never needs more then that.
QTMHHTP1 = CGI User Profile - He (or she!) needs UPDATE access to the files he 
will be updating.  He DOESN'T need update access for items that are not 
required to update.  I give explicit access to objects these two will be using, 
and then I exclude public everyplace else...

Thanks to all who helped me try and find what was causing my HTTP 500
Error.

After Pulling my hair out, playing with my HTTP configuration for days,
modifying my HTML Form multiple times, searching the internet for hours
(OK DAYS), posting large messages with log information to the list,
changing my binding directory entries, starting service jobs, debugging
my QTMHHTTP jobs, starting and ending the HTTP server instance, and
swearing that if I can't do something this simple that I need to get
into a new line of work, a colleague that knows nothing about CGI asked
me: "Is QTMHHTTP user profile disabled?"

Dhoooooop!  Enabled that and everything worked like a charm.  In my
defense, the log messages and job log messages suck (or I missed it.)
and the server jobs still ran under that user profile.  Now that this is
working, very cool!

What's the preferred method of retrieving data from the form?
QzhbCgiParse, or the QtmhCvtDb routine.  I know the CgiParse is newer,
but I kind of like the "old" routine that brings in all the fields at
once.
