	Hi, I'm trying to have my header include have dynamic content as per the rest of my site... I've altered all the paths on the page to reflect the fact the header file is within the includes dir within the forum dir... but am getting a: Variable Undefined error with reference to the connection string I'm using to get to my own database to pull in the dynamic content in the header... As the connection string uses a DSN-less connection and therefore has the full path to the database (i.e not a DSN connection)... I can't see where the error is occurring... any ideas?

	Option Explicit is used throughout the forum code. This is good programming and forces you to declare variables before you use them. You need to use the line:- Dim variableName Before you use the variable.

	You would have to remove the line 'Option Explicit' from every file used in the forum. A simpler solution would be open the forums common.asp file look down the file for all the Dim statements and add your own variable names to this.

It's just hit me that my css for the rest of my site references images for bk's by their relative paths... that's now won't work in my forum header cos obviously this has a different path to my images... my head hurts!!... thanks for the help anyway...
