Thanks Indy
My issue is I have Apache installed in the C: 
drive and my application on the D: drive.  I was 
hoping not to have to copy all the files (about 1 
Gig) to the C: drive.  I thought I could use the 
<Directory command to acheive this:

<Directory "d:/screeningtool.ca">
     Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
     AllowOverride None
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory d:/screeningtool.ca/cgi-bin >
         Options ExecCGI
         SetHandler cgi-script
         AddHandler cgi-script .pl .cgi
</Directory>

The first one works - I can get the index.html 
page to come up the following page, a cgi script 
does not execute for some reason.   I tested the 
Apache installation and a sample cgi script in 
the C:\Program Files\Apache Software 
Foundation\Apache2.2\cgi-bin directory does run.

Perhaps it would be best to copy everything to C.

I am also wondering if it would be better NOT to 
install Apache in the default Program Files 
location due to Windows permissions?

Thanks all for your suggestions!
