I have created a site, with menus on the left and a main content area in the middle. The main content area is a table. So what I would like to know, is how to incorporate the forums so that they appear in my main content area when someone clicks on the forum menu.

I have tried to add sections to the header and footer sections of the forums but to no avail and then call the default.asp from the forum, but this just returns a 404 error. . Can someone give me any ideas what I need to do to get it to works

404 error means it couldnt find the file...

so fix your code to point to the file in question... its not going to be any more difficult than that

Yes I know what a 404 error means. Trouble is what file is missing there is no indication as to what it is because the default.asp is there as are all the files I am pointing to within the default.asp

My bet is that this is not a 404 error, look more closly I'll bet it's a 500 internal server error.

Turn off friendly HTTP errors in IE and then report what the error message is so that we can help further.

Ok tahnks Borg.. I am not really sure what is going on here. Basically I have a file called forum.asp, which is called when someone hits the menu option. In the section, where I want the forum to appear, I have put the  now when I go to my site and click on the forum menu option I get the following message. So you're right borg, it is actually a 500 error. I am not really even sure if this is the right way to do it . I have changed nothing on the forum and just trying to include the forum/default.asp file.

Trying to include the whole frorum as an include file isn't really the right way to do it, to place the forum in your sits design use the header and footer files found in the includes directory of the forum.

By the way the error means that some of the variables used in your page are the same as those used in the forum and so clash.
