Russ, We tried ISAPI_WRITE_LITE from Helicon Tech. We couldn't get the Rewrite Rules to work. We also tried WordPress_URL Rewrite and that crashed the system. We just figured the only way around was to switch to Apache.
I will have to see if our System Admin is willing to upgrade to IIS7.

However I note you said you are running windows 2003 which is IIS6, which may be the issue as I believe wordpress requires URL rewriting to work properly. This is built in to IIS7 bit not IIS6, and wordpress detects IIS7 automatically and generates the rewrite rules in the web.config which is the same as the .htaccess. There is a solution for IIS6 called ISAPI REWRITE which is fully compatible with Apache mod_rewrite rules and you can just copy the Apache .htaccess file, so any software that requires Apache for mod_rewrite , should work on IIS using ISAPI_REWRITE.
