Thankyou Scott.
You have at least pointed me in the right direction. It sounds like I need
some IIS support. I have the machine set up to recognize .r scripts, but
unfortunately I am still getting the same problem. I followed the online
IIS manual to setup the application extension mapping, but no luck so far.
It is still something that had to be done so thanks a million.
Mike
