Hi,
Can someone please set me straight on the ADOVBS.inc file. Everytime I
try to use pages that I have to use <!--#include file="adovbs.inc"--> I get
an error stating that the include file cannot be found. Can someone please
explain to me what I am suppose to do with this file and be specific. I
have found information on the problem but not exactly how to solve it.
Am I suppose to add it to my global.asa file for each product or does
it go into my root directory on the server (which I did and it hasn't
helped). This is driving me crazy, no matter what I do it doesn't work.
Would appreciate any help that someone can give me. This is holding up
work for me.
Thanks so much
Karen

If you use
<!--#include file="adovbs.inc"-->
in a webpage the adovbs.inc file has to be placed in the same directory as
the calling page. If it is in another directory it has to be referenced to
that specific directory.

John almost go it...
when you specify "file" for your include location, it
needs the literal location of the include file on your
server. This means that, yes, you need the include
file in each directory in which files use it IF your
include line in said files uses "file=". However, I'm
sure you (and everyone else) will agree that copying
the file into each directory is stupid...
So, instead of "file=" then use "virtual=" ! Put
adovbs into your root web directory, and use this
line:
<!--#include virtual="/adovbs.inc"-->
S'all you need...

If you add it to the global.asa then you do it via a META tag....
In other pages you use the include verbage.... make sure that the path
is correct.
In the example you give below, the file must reside in the same
directory as the page that is calling it.

As I'm sure you're aware of what the adovbs.inc file contains (all kindsa
constants and what not). Here's how file and virtual works:
#include file is relative to the current working directory. So if you did
<!--#include file="adovbs.inc" --> on a directory that looks something like:
www.yourserver.mil/acronym/unit/user/acronym/file.asp then the "adovbs.inc"
file *must* be in the /acronym/unit/user/acronym/ directory. Obviously not
very useful in this instance.
However, #include virtual starts at the root of the server (against all
known SSI standards), so no matter what directory you're in, you can always
do <!--#include virtual="adovbs.inc" --> as long as the "adovbs.inc" file
appears at the root of your server (personally all my incs go into a
/resources folder off the root).
You could include this file at the top of all your pages, *or* you can make
a hard-linked object reference to the ADODB DLL in the global.asa. If you
do the latter (which I have not yet done) then if a critical error occurs
with your site or the library, you must reboot the server.

when you specify "file" for your include location, it
needs the literal location of the include file on your
server. This means that, yes, you need the include
file in each directory in which files use it IF your
include line in said files uses "file=3D". However, I'm
sure you (and everyone else) will agree that copying
the file into each directory is stupid...
So, instead of "file=3D" then use "virtual=3D" ! Put
adovbs into your root web directory, and use this
line:
<!--#include virtual=3D"/adovbs.inc"-->
S'all you need...
