[Lynne Puckett]

Hi,
I sent these replies to these kindly helpful persons but forgot to send 
them to the list so everybody could see, so here they are:

My answer:
Permissions are read & execute for all folders, subfolders & files for
"Everyone" and the default Internet guest account. I have anonymous
access enabled. Default.htm is the main page for our site, and it's #1
on the default page list. I don't have anything more than static html at
the moment, so ASP isn't even installed, let alone turned on. If I can
get the plain stuff working then I can start thinking about fancy stuff.

  My answer:
We have our own page. It's set up in the default web page spot on IIS in
the default directory.

My answer:
No, alas.

I do love this list. Everyone responds so promptly! Thanks, and keep 'em 
coming!
