Thanks friend,

But I don't have the Cgi-Bin directory
since I'm using the front page 98 local server
do I need another server
or can I make it work using it

If I need another server please tell me

note that I use windows98 as an O.S.
YOu can create a virtual directory call cgi-bin.  Set all the rights for that directory.  (Execute, Script, Read).

Please can you tell me how do I do that
since I'm a bigginer in CGI & HTML

2 ways:
1) Contact your ISP and have them create one for you.
2) Using a FTP browser, create the directory on your own.  Set its rights to "execute" (Usually in the FTP program there is a way to do this).

That will do it for you.
