Thanks Ken.

No - not multiple apps. I have set up a web server and set its home
directory as w:\wwwroot\salesnow and configured the application name =
"Salesnow". That same directory is set up as a virtual directory with
identical values. Is that the problem, maybe I don't need the virtual
directory since the web server is dedicated to this site?

FYI: as a test, I set up a Win2K Web server identically (except that it
truely is a virtual web site) and it reacts as designed.

Let me know.
Thanks.
