I need to include a text file... the name is located in a database (example: myfile.txt). I know this won't work but this is what it would need to do
< !-- #inlcude virtual="/_jokestorage/<%myvariable%> -->
is there anyway to include the text file into the document using a variable as the file name?

No (not here at least) - As includes are included first, (before the scripts are run), you'd get an error because there wont be a file in the /_jokestorage/ folder named "<%myvariable%>"

theres just one problem with using Server.Execute, theres nothing to EXECUTE! Its just one text file with some writing in it and the file name is dynamic.

will server.execute have the same the effect of includes? It can't execute a text file that has nothing but text in it.
