Hi, I really enjoy this site, its avail. apps and the forums, so I'd like to ask a general asp question.  I'm pretty new to .asp use and I'm really getting into it.  Everything so far is just self thought.  blah blah blah.  

Anyways, here's my question...

When doing a asp script include on my, I seem to encounter problems about using an included script on pages in different folders within my root directory.  I'd like to ask if there is a certain logic in my site structure I need to pay attention to and consider as I'm building my site?  For example, i'm making all pages asp because they all are including some sort of asp on them.  I have my index.asp and global file directly in my root, then I have my a pages folder inside that and an images folder.  For certain scripts like newsletters, etc, I've given them their own folders to seperate their pages.  None of them go more then one folder deep inside my root. I'd like my index page and other pages in the 'pages' folder to use the same asp scripts included on them.  Like a poll, newsletter subscription, etc.  Ok, I think I'm rambling and probably making it more confusing.  If anyone understands what I'm getting at, can you please help out a newbie?

thanks

Yeah, it's what I was originally thinking.  Thanks for your posting.  It reassured me.  Yet, I seem to be encountering a problem that I think maybe comes from my lack of understanding any limitations.  Example: I'm currently trying to incorporate the Web Wiz Poll into my site.  Still, my 'pages' are in their pages folder and my index is directly in the root.  I decided to be put all Poll files into a file directly in my root called 'poll' and removed the 'default.asp' file from it.  I attempt to put an include file on my index page as "<% Server.Execute "poll/weekly_poll.inc" %>", but it doesn't seem to be calling it up once I've uploaded all the files to my server. I just get the following in the area I inserted the include:

OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x6f4 Thread 0xac0 DBC 0x8f272fc Jet'.

/poll/common.inc, line 91

Any ideas or could any of you asp guru's who get a rise out of teaching a newbie the way of the light care to help and pick on me all you'd like?

Try replacing

<% Server.Execute "poll/weekly_poll.inc" %>

with

Thanks!  I tried that too.  The Read Me file for the Web Wiz Poll says:

6. If you find you are having problems make sure: -

 6.1 The page you want the weekly poll on is an ASP page with the .asp extension.
 6.2 All the other files from the zip file, except the default.asp, are in the same
     folder as the page you want the Weekly Poll on.

I guess there's really no way around that.  At least for someone who just now learning through trial and error.   It sucks.  It's such a great poll to use.
