help with a com object

[Scott Hathaway]

Here is the weird thing.  It turns out not to be a php problem or a python
problem.
Acutally created a COM server in VB and then accessed it from ASP on IIS 4
and
with PHP and with VB (outside of IIS) and in python (outside of IIS).  It
works fine
outside of IIS on drives other than drive c:, but not within IIS.  I don't
even know how
IIS could know what drive I am pulling from in the COM object!  Microsoft
can really
be a pain sometimes.
