Newbie Help Please-ASP error 'ASP 0131'

I am not new to dreamweaver but new to dynamic web application. I am following a dreamweaver database tutorial.
When I try to preview an asp page in a browser after adding a recordset I get this message (firefox) (Before adding the recordset there is no problem)

"Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'

Disallowed Parent Path

/nationalEx_root/admin/update_product.asp, line 2

The Include file '../Connections/connNationalEx.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory. "

Heres what I know. Notice the file "update_product.asp" is in a folder called "admin" If I take that file and move it out of the "admin" folder and drop it into the root directory.....the error message goes away. So I am sure its simple but I don't know what to change to make it work within the "data" folder.
Do I need to edit the connection string? The asp file?
Thanks for your help!

Ken

you would need to go into IIS and activate Parent Paths. By default, this is
not active in IIS.

There is another solution, which technically doesn't weaken the security
on your webserver:
