#include statement errors...

[Guest_imported]

I've been getting errors on my #include statement line and I can't resolve the problem. The line is the following:
<!--#include virtual=&quot;/adovbs.inc&quot;-->

I know adovbs.inc is there (and page works if I just cut and paste what I need from adovbs.inc) so I'm wondering if there's some issues of this syntax with NT or ? This is my first ASP page so maybe even the syntax is off?
Thanks

I've always just used
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE=&quot;ADOVBS.inc&quot; -->

Does your adovbs.inc file reside in the

http://wwwroot-folder?

The difference between including a file using 'VIRTUAL' and file is how it locates the file in question. If you are using virtual, it will start looking in

http://wwwroot,

and you need to submit an absolute path, if you on the other hand use 'FILE' you can use a relative path.
Note however that files with the suffix .inc aren't very secure, you should rather name it .asp - this has to do with what clients are allowed to see...
