i believe michael's post above tells you how to use the system you require

If you have something like
webfolder/site1.com/page.asp
and
webfolder/site2.com/otherpage.asp
where a domain maps to each .com folder... say you want to include otherpage.asp in page.asp you could do 2 things:
<!--#include virtual="../site2.com/otherpage.asp"-->
or use File pretty much the same way, though it is relative to the calling file not the root. |

So do if the other folder is called Todd for example it would be
../todd/file.ext ?

It's all theory man. basically with virtual you start at the root of your web so you do a .. to go up a level then you do /yourdirectory to go into the other site... it may looks something like ../../folder/file.ext if it's further up.

I tried and i am getting
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126'
Include file not found
/test.asp, line 1
The include file '../SkyCrest0root/stats.htm' was not found.
The code i used was
<!--#include virtual="../SkyCrest0root/stats.htm"-->
and the page is there also.
Is there another way of doing this like by using the FSO to include it or something?

You could use FSO to copy the file from one web root to the other each
time a page is called. I'm not sure how much overhead this would add
but it shouldn't be much. Then you would only have to worry about
updating content in one website as the 2nd would use FSO to copy the
correct file in. The only other consideration would be if you were
copying an ASP page in that had includes or code that was dependent on
other files.
Although I'm not positive, I think the include statements can only be
used within a defined website. Using "include file", you can look above
root in a defined site, but "include virtual" will only look below the
root of the site.

Okay, maybe if i explain a little more on what i am trying to do someone can tell me a workaround then.
For a website i am hosting i have 2 root folders, one has all the asp code and the site pretty much in it the other i want to use so that when the people logged in create pages for the site it stores all the pages on the other root folder.
SO in other words i dont want to mix the site with the content so i am putting it on a different directory.
All help is appreciated

Sounds to me like the easiest way is to (1) use FSO to create .txt or
.html files for the content or (2) Use a database to power the content,
whether Access, SQL Server, or mySQL. If I had to chose I'd take (2).
