Hello all!  I have a strange problem that _should not_ be impossible to
fix...

I am trying to make a CGI database application in Borland Delphi 4.0 that
will access a database on my Sybase SQL Server (on another NT machine)
through BDE (v5.01) and return the data to the client.  The CGI app ("CGI
standalone executable") is hosted on a Windows NT 4.0 Server with NT Option
Pack 4.0 (and therefore MS IIS 4.0?) installed.  When I run my program (by
double-clicking on it) when I am logged in as administrator, it works fine.
It also works fine if I add the IUSR user to the "administrators" group in
the User Manager (but I obviously don't want this to be the fix).  The IUSR
has executable rights to my CGI program.  What other directories or files
does IUSR need access to????

NOTE:  I have tried this on two different NT Servers with similar setups and
it fails on both.  This should be a replicable problem..

HELP!  Thanks,
Erik
