Hi all -

A pretty basic question today.  I've been wanting to segment portions of 
my application but have run into a problem.  All of my include files are 
stored in a subfolder off the root, and for the most part its fine as I 
can just have <!-- #include file="modules/modMisc.vbs" --> in the head 
section of any page in the root.  The problem I'm having is that I want to 
segment off another portion of the application into a subfolder off the 
root, but I can't reference the includes in the modules subfolder.  I've 
tried using UNC and even absolute paths along with ../, ./ and / 
preceeding the folder name, but I can't quite get it right.  Any 
suggestions other than moving the includes to the root?

Thanks,

-Jose

Put a slash in front to designate root.

Doing this with your current line will cause an error.

Change it from:

<!-- #include file=3D"modules/modMisc.vbs" -->

to:

<!-- #include virtual=3D"/modules/modMisc.vbs" -->

assuming that modules is a sub folder right off your root.

Thanks,

Chris Thompson

Sorry - should have been more clear. I have attempted to use that method 
as it made sense, but it doesn't work. 

Error Type:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0130 (0x80004005)
File attribute '/modules/modMisc.vbs' cannot start with forward slash or 
back slash.
/sandbox/test.asp, line 30

dOh!  Didn't see the virtual switch
