Include File Problem 1

[ecugrad]

I need to include the adovbs.inc file into an ASP page to try to do multiple Batch Updates. I put the file in the same directory as the ASP page I'm using it in. And I'm including the reference at the top of the page:
<-- #include file=&quot;advobs.inc&quot; -->

When I run the page I'm only displaying all the text in the Include file. Can somebody tell me where I went wrong. I'm using PWS.

Thanks
Mike

use this instead - OUTSIDE of your ASP delimiters

<!-- METADATA TYPE=&quot;typelib&quot; FILE=&quot;C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado15.dll&quot; -->

this file has the same ADO constants definitions as adovbs.inc Tony

Or more simply... Your missing the ! in your opening tag:

<!--

The trouble with using...

<!-- #include file=&quot;adovbs.inc&quot; -->

...is that the entire file is included into your ASP page which makes the pages much larger than they need to be. many of the constants in this file will not be used in your site. Using the .dll instead is a much more efficient way of referencing the ADO constants. Tony
