Hi Aaron

Imagine this: You click your way into huge web-site. After 2 min. you 
don't know where you are. Wouldn't it be nice to have some sort of 
tracking (a path bar)? I fact you see it all the time even on p2p.wrox. I 
just don't know the name of such thing or how to do it, besides writing in 
HTML. I've tried the filesystem object but I don't want to write the 
folder names as the user explore my site. Maybe you know a better way?

:-) Jon

You could try something like this and an including file:

<%
script_name=request.servervariables("script_name")
split_name=split(script_name,"/")
num_directory=ubound(split_name)-1 
for counter= 1 to (num_directory)
link=link & "/"& split_name(counter) %>/
<a href="<%= link %>"><%= split_name(counter) %></a>
<%next%> 
 
You can remove the remarks to show the full path...
