Follow up: Apache cannot find path or open password file windows2000

This is a follow up from my previous post. I am now sure all I need to know
is why apache cannot find the path to the password fill and open it. Have
tried several changes in the httpd config file to tell the server the
pecific path. Has anyone had this proble with the server having problems
finding paths in the windows2000 environment when trying to protect
directories with htaccess files and. I have indexing turned off tured it on
with the sam result.

This is the error message(edited to protect my info):

[error] [client xx.xxx.xx.xx] (OS 2)The system cannot find the file
specified. : Could not open password file: C:/path/path/path to
file/password.password.file extention

Make sure that you use the absolute path to the password file in the
..htaccess, and that it has the right permissions set (can't recall
offhand if it is just read or read/execute).
