I have files named top_menu.inc and left_menu.inc so that to reduce the work when I change the navigation structure of my website. I am including top_menu.inc file as

<!--#include file="top_menu.inc"-->
but contents of this file are not displaying on the page in which it is inserted. If there is a missing relative or virtual path of file, please tell me how can I give virtual or relative path. Thanx

this is a cut and past so should work.

<!--#include file="functions/functions_format_post.asp" -->

the only other thing i can think is .. have you got SSI enabled on your host.

should have but some hosts allow you to disable them.

I use include virtual instead of include file
<!--#include virtual="/somedirectory/top_menu.inc"-->
Where the first / is the root directory. That way I can use the same include in any subdirectory without having to change the relative file path.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Just a thought, but make sure you are not tring to using the 'include' statement within the asp brackets : <% %>
