Need help with .asp Virtual Includes

updated next

Also, the root of your site is http://localhost/, "hseih" is a subdirectory
to it, even though you have it set up in your site definition as the URL
prefix. If you need the "hseih" directory to be the root of your site,
you'll need to open IIS Manager and set the Local Path parameter under the
Home Directory tab to this directory. The http://localhost/ will represent
the content in that directory. Currently, the root directory is
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot", so any subdirectory to this point will appear in your
browsers address path.

Best regards,
Chris

If you're using a relative path, use:

<!--#include file="../relative/path/to/file.asp"-->

If you're using an absolute path from the root of the site, use:

<!--#include virtual="/absolute/path/from/root/to/file.asp"-->

Make sense?

Best regards,
Chris
