Thank you! That took care of the first issue. And by following some ideas
that it gave me, I got some headway on the second, but it isn't totally
fixed. The exact error for the second one is:
-------Start error list----------
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method
(HTTP verb) was used to attempt access.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

Contact the Web site administrator if you believe that this request should
be allowed.
Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your
browser is spelled and formatted correctly.
HTTP Error 405 - The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the
words HTTP and 405.
Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for
topics titled Setting Application Mappings, Securing Your Site with Web Site
Permissions, and About Custom Error Messages.
---------End error list----------

I tried some of the suggestions on the error, but can't figure out what dll
goes with .exe files created with VB. I was able to Allow "All unknown CGI
Extensions", but that is somewhat of a security risk. Any additional help
would be appreciated
