to quote from my visual studio 6.0 documentation: "You can also use the file keyword with ../ syntax to include a file from a parent, or higher-level, directory if the Enable Parent Paths option is selected in Internet Service Manager." that may be the problem but i don't know. you can also try using the "virtual" keyword in place of "file" where you indicate a path beginning with the virtual directory.

| the problem is that include files are ran before any other asp code, so you can't put an include file in an if statement. |

The problem was that you closed the <% %> tags without finishing the Response.Write, a simple way would be to do this:
If the header ad image variable isnt empty, display the image If strSiteHeaderImage2 <> "" Then %> <td width="100%" align="right"><!--#include file="../BannerRotator.asp"--></td><% End If Or this: If the header ad image variable isnt empty, display the image If strSiteHeaderImage2 <> "" Then Response.Write(vbCrLf & " <td width=""100%"" align=""right"">") %> <!--#include file="../BannerRotator.asp"--> <% Response.Write("</td>") End If <edit> You can't close the script block unless you're done with the command like you do with html... You had closed the script block right in the middle of the Response.Write, you had to finish it first, then close it, include the file, and start a new response.write... It would just make more sense and perform better to just use HTML instead of Response.Write as in my first example... ------------- FeRnAN http://www.danasoft.com/">

You sure can put it on an If statement, what you can't do is put it inside a Response.Write. In that case the problem was that the script block was closed before closing the response.write... The includes are not exactly ran before the asp code, many people think that but it's incorrect. The includes just can't be placed inside ASP code cuz they're not ASP and can't be used on Response.Write cuz they're not client side stuff that's why they're called server side includes (Response.Write just sends text to the browser). As long as it's not inside a script block you can use it anywhere... What you can't do is include the same file or two files with the same variables on the same script cuz the server includes the files before executing any ASP so you'll get a variable redefined error... same as if you do this: If strHuh = "Hello" Then Dim intHuh intHuh = 5 Else Dim intHuh intHuh = 1 End If Even though the var is only gonna be defined once that would cause a variable redefined error... ------------- FeRnAN http://www.danasoft.com/">

well, if you're just going to keep telling us "that's not the problem, what else?" and not try to help with your own problems, then you might as well stop asking for help at all. |

He just copied what I had posted. I decided to take the IF statement out and do this: %> <td width="100%" valign="middle" align="right"><!--#include virtual="BannerRotator.asp"--> </td> <% |
