Hi Chip,
the template file uses [program] to refer to the value that was passed
in from the calling form.  Since an msLoadMap() error message is
displayed, it sounds like the .exe is being found.  The error message
also displays the map path that it is trying to access.  In my case,
anyways, the path that is displayed is correct.  From what ryan tells
me, we are both experiencing the same problem & we are both using IIS,
if that helps.  Sounds like most here are running Apache. =20

	I so very rarely use the CGI version of MS. My skills are a bit
rusty. As I recall, you have to point to the MapServer executable in
your template file. If your "initiation" page (the one that says "click
here to load the application") points to the correct location, but the
template file does not, I think that you would experience this (i.e.
your initial map would load, but all subsequent requests would not
work). Make sure that in your template file, you're pointing to the MS
executable. Also, note that it USED to be that the documentation (very
unix/apache oriented) did not require you to put the trailing "exe" on
the pointer to the file. I found that you HAVE to do this on windows.

	HTH.
