However, if the cgi program I am running tries to access a file on my hard drive; such as, C:\test\test.doc, the program cannot access it. I get an error message in the log stating that the path is not correct. I know the path is correct, because if I put that file in the htdocs directory or cgi-bin directory, the program opens the file and amends it without any problems.
