Hi
   I am new to asp 3.0. what problem i am facing is that when i include a file in my .asp file and run the page, it gives this error message "The include file '/includes/common.asp' was not found."
    now my current web directory is website1 and file which is using common is default.asp located in website1 directory and common.asp is located in "website1/includes".
    can any one let me know what i am missing because this is the problem with a lot of other pages as well.
Regards
   Shahid

This tells me your path is incorrect. What is your stntax for the include? From what you have told me it should look like:

No i am using virtual path instead

"#include virtual="/includes/common.asp"

this is my include code in default.asp

Hi
   After a long search, i have got the solution to the problem. The problem is that when we use #include virtual="includes" then the directory we are reffering to should also be a virtual directory.
    That's what i did, set the includes as virtual directory and its working now.

Very good. Is this working?

"#include virtual="/includes/common.asp"

for others who may want help with the same problem, shouldnt the syntax be?

Yes mat. the actual syntax will be



 and in this case includes will be a virtual directory as well.

Off topic.
