I haven't looked in the servers log, I should do that. I do have full access to this server, but the script will be run on other servers yet that I don't have access to.

I tried the backslashes, and as was mentioned, they work fine either way. I did find some issues with using the forward slashes, but those errors come up right away and are easy enough to steer around.

Why wouldn't the webserver have permission to write to the system's temp folder? I don't believe this server was set up with any special considerations like that. Also, the folder that the script is in is the d: folder I mentioned, it has 'everybody' permissions on it - what more could a webserver ask for? I want to ask about your comment on perl2exe - how do I make the computer run perl script without having it compiled? I guess I haven't tried the most obvious way - just call it from the URL line - maybe I'll have to associate the extension with NT's Perl & it'll just 'go'. Would it take something else?
