Parent Paths...What am I missing? 1

[FancyPrairie]

Out intranet site is hosted on a Windows 2003 server. I understand that, by default, Windows 2003 does not support parent paths ("..\"). However, there is an option where I can Enable parent paths, which I have.

I have serveral HTML pages that include .vbs and .cls files. I never had a problem including the .vbs files using parent paths. But until I discovered that Enable parent paths option I wasn't able to include .cls files. But I'm still unable to pick up .udl files that use parent paths (..\MyLibrary\MyConnection.udl).

If I launch my page using share names (\\myIntranet\myfolder\myPage.htm) I have no problems. But when I launch the page as

http://TestSite/MyFolder/MyPage.htm

then I have problems with the parent paths.

What am I missing as far as not picking up the .udl file?

I would prefer using virtual paths, put can't seem to get them to work client-side.

Could it be something to do with your slashes?

The web browser, using http will expect '/' instead of '\'

Try specifying your includes using '/'

Foamcow,

I almost didn't try your suggestion because I had tried it before and every other combination I could think of. But I thought "what the heck". I changed it as you suggested and it worked. I must have changed it before I enabled the parent path or I might not have saved my changes before I tested.

Anyway, it's working per your suggestion.

Thanks

Referencing something on a local windows filesystem is not the same as going through the webserver.
