I'm not sure if this is possible but I'm trying to response.write out a server side include. I've tried the following to no avail.

First I tried:
' Dim strLink, strSSI
' strLink = "tc001.asp"
' strSSI = "
Then included ' <%= strSSI %> on another section of the page. This returned nothing visibly.

I then tried:
' Dim strSSI
' strSSI = "tc001"

and included it like this:
'

which resulted in this error "The include file '<%= strMenu %>.asp' was not found.

Anyone know how to do this??

Hi there,

You cannot dynamically include a file. All include files are read (and included) before the entire script is passed to the ASP engine. So as far as the ASP engine is concerned, there are no include files. All it does is process one script.

This means that strSSI won't have a value at the moment the file is included, so you'll get an error.

You can use Server.Execute to simulate a dynamic include file. Alternatively, check here and here for more information.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks again Imar.. I was afraid you were going to say that. All my searching had pretty much produced the same results. However, the 4Guys page looks promising. Thanks again!
