access_asp thread: Quotation syntax problem

New to ASP and I can't seem to get the syntax with quotations quite
right.
I am trying to dynamically pull data based on what the user selects from
a form. The form is the first page and the second page takes the
selection as a variable and uses that to pull a text file of the same
name. - My problem is that I can't get the syntax right to include the
variable in the <#-- include--> command.
Code as follows.
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
(page1.asp)
<form method=3D"get" action=3D"include.asp">
<Select name=3D"pick">
<%
Dim files
set files=3DServer.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
sqltext=3D"Select filename from articles"
files.open sqltext, "FileDSN=3Dspunki02.dsn"
files.Movefirst
Do While not files.EOF
response.write "<OPTION value=3D'" & files("filename") &".txt'>"
response.write files("filename") & "</option>"
files.movenext
Loop
%>
</select><br>
<input type=3D"submit" value=3D"submit">
</form>
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
(include.asp)
<%
set varpick =3D request.form("pick")
<!-- #include file=3D"../data/"& varpick &" -->
%>
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Sorry if this is a rather dumb question but I just don't know the
syntax.
Thanks

The #include command is interpreted during pre-compiling time.
That's why you can not use variables in this include-command because the
variable has no value at that time.
