Having found out that I can't use variables for dynamic includes using the   <!--#INCLUDE file="<% =var %>"-->   method I decided to go looking up dynamic include script on the net, I found a few of sample scripts but havent had any luck getting anything to work, can anyone help me with this?

Server.Execute "pagename.asp" Could work as well.

also if there are say two possible values for varaiable var, u could try:

<% If var = "one" Then %>

<!--#INCLUDE file="firstpage.asp"-->

Else

IF var = "two" Then %>

<!--#INCLUDE file="secondpage.asp"-->

End if

End if

where firstpage.asp and secondpage.asp contain the asp code for the variabls. Actually in this case, it's best to use select Case statements.

Or you could use:

server.execute("yourPage.asp")

Yer basically, what I'm trying to do is make my site skinable, if you know any other methods please let me know.

Basically how I want it to work is:

varSkin = Read SkinName from cookie

Include header called varSkin

Of course you can use variables in server.execute something like
var1 = "folder/file.asp"
Server.Execute var1
would work.
Anyway, I don't think server.execute would work would for skins and the option stephen supplied first may take up quite a bit of space, as all code would be processed. You could store the actual code in a database and just print the code needed for your skin or use some component that does real dynamic includes.
