<!--#include virtual="config.asp" --> = from root scructure ie /aaa/config so it would be <!--#include virtual="/aaa/config.asp" --> with <!--#include file="config.asp" --> is used for the directory you are in or if you want it in a directory below that folder or above you sue the ../ or aaa/ last one is the folder name so for the virtual one above start with the / |

Virtual starts in the root directory and moves from there.
File starts in the current directory and moves from there. If your structure is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\directory\subdirectoty and you are in directory and trying to include a file in subdirectory then it would be file="subdirectory/file.inc" or virtual = "directory/subdirectory/file.inc" I personally use virtual because even if the file change in relation to each other, I rarely change them in relation to the root directory. Most of my includes file end up in a "inc" directory off the root any way. |

The only difference is where the parser looks for the directory. As I said above with "virtual" it starts at the root and with "file" it starts with the current directory. ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L. Jamal Inc : Web/ Print Design and ASP Programming |
