The two requests both use the same Perl script - the only difference is in the 'MODE' parameter and the FULLFILENAME parameter. The system uses many other Perl scripts - so the IIS server is definitely handling Perl OK. ANd when I test this on another IIS server it works fine! SO - it must be something to do with IIS server configuration I guess. (The problem serer is set-up to automatically show XLS files in the browser when clicked on - maybe it's detecting that the script is trying to load and XLS file and switches into Mime handling mode - but the only filename it can find is the script name. I'll try a non-Perl CGI+IIS route of enquiry. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
