I'm not sure how you are logging on as Administrator through the browser, but the issue I was referring to is that CGI programs generally run as the user that the web server is running as, while command-line programs run as the user you are logged in as. Sometimes this leads to problems with permissions. I've never used CGI on a Windows system, so I can't give much more advice about that.

I suspect that your connect statement does not actually connect. You're using ODBC, and a particularly odd driver (FileMaker), so it's quite possible that it doesn't bother to actually connect until you ask it to do something like select or insert. There may not be any real connection here at all, since I think FileMaker is not a networked database.
