I am in serious need of help ...

I have a relatively simple program, written in VC++ 5, that I am trying to use as a CGI "script." This program connects to an Oracle database using the Oracle OCI calls.

The program executes just fine in a DOS window, but fails when run through IIS with the following message:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return

followed by nothing. This indicates that the program is not even starting.

I built a simple test program to just display the HTML header. This works. However, if I link in the Oracle library (ORA803.LIB), even though I don't call any of the functions, then it fails (but runs successfully from the command line).

I've been through the permission issues (and everything else I can find in the KB). What I need are some suggestions about how to find out why it doesn't work when launched from IIS. Is the library loading some DLLs before the program even starts? Is there some problem in doing that?

TIA, Rog
