Ok I am trying to clean up my code now that I have things working ok. Basicly I am trying to get the html formating out to one include file that way you only have to change one file to change the look. But for some reason it won't include the file. Here is my code

If userAdmin = 1 then

Else

End If

But if I put the contents of each include into their area then it works. Anyone have ideas why it doesn't work?

Works this way

If userAdmin = 1 then
Response.Write ("<table align='right'><tr><td><a href='main.asp'><img src='images/home2_324.gif' alt='Home' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='profile.asp?mode=view'><img src='images/search_16.gif' alt='View Profile' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='profile.asp?mode=edit'><img src='images/save_16.gif' alt='Edit Profile' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='profile.asp?mode=password'><img src='images/security.gif' alt='Change Password' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='logout.asp'><img src='images/Log-Off_324.gif' alt='Logoff' border='0'></a></td></tr><tr>< td><a href='admin.asp?mode=options'><img src='images/options.gif' alt='Options' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='admin.asp?mode=add'><img src='images/add_account.gif' alt='Add Account' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='admin.asp?mode=admin'><img src='images/add_admin.gif' alt='Add Admin' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='admin.asp?mode=listusers'><img src='images/editaccounts.gif' alt='Edit Accounts' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='admin.asp?mode=reports'><img src='images/reports.gif' alt='Reports' border='0'></a></td></tr></table> <br><br><br><br>")
Else
Response.Write ("<table align='right'><tr><td><a href='main.asp'><img src='images/home2_324.gif' alt='Home' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='profile.asp?mode=view'><img src='images/search_16.gif' alt='View Profile' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='profile.asp?mode=edit'><img src='images/save_16.gif' alt='Edit Profile' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='profile.asp?mode=password'><img src='images/security.gif' alt='Change Password' border='0'></a></td><td><a href='logout.asp'><img src='images/Log-Off_324.gif' alt='Logoff' border='0'></a></td></tr></table> <br><br><br><br>")
End If

<% If userAdmin = 1 then %>

<% Else %>

<% End If %>

The newest versions of ASP disables the ability to do includes within a code block.

Worked like a charm. I guess that is why I am a newbie. Thanks for the help.

Here is the problem. I tried that and when I do that it basicly just prints out the contents of the file. I just want the file used for the information inside of it not print it. (Contains DB Conntection information)

Nevermind got it figured out. I didn't have <% %> in my include file
