This worked, Ken, so thank you SOOOO much. It works when I run it from
the web server. But here's my dilemma now. I am not an HTML programmer
and I need to know what syntax to use in the INDEX.HTML file so that
this demo is available INTERNALLY over the web. If I use the full paths
in the INDEX.HTML file (C:\...) or UNC paths (\\SERVERNAME\...) I get
the error that the map cannot be found. Can you tell me the syntax to
use for the paths in this section of the HTML file:
<!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->
<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="\\esgisrv001\inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\itasca.map">
<input type="hidden" name="program"
value="\\esgisrv001\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\mapserv.exe">
<input type="hidden" name="root"
value="\\esgisrv001\inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"
value="\\esgisrv001\inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\tmp\">
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl"
value="\\esgisrv001\inetpub\wwwroot\workshop\tmp\">
Your help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Christine,
Yes, thats right. That made it work for me on both a windows 2000 and
windows XP Pro SP1 installation.
There's no harm in leaving both the xerces dll's incase you have some
other application using the newer version.
