Actually, you *don't* need any directory or special processing in "On web connection". You merely must include this bit of decoration so that 4D 2003 and under will include the form variables. Otherwise it strips them out. So you can have the following set up on your web server: Web (folder) default.a4d (file with FORM ACTION to /4dcgi/default.a4p) default.a4p (file that's executed from above FORM ACTION in the same folder) You don't need any other "4dcgi" folder, nor do anything special in "On web connection". It all just works magically. (I think this was required by 4D as a way of "advertising"; anybody looking at the source of a page would see this, and know that a 4D web server was involved. There was a lot of hue and cry about it, with David Adams leading the charge, until they finally retired it in 4D 2004.) Cheers!
