[timcadieux]

Argh, can someone tell me why this script appears to be trying to load both inlcudes, i get name Redefined errors.

<!--#include file="../Scripts/setup.asp" -->
<% IF DWAN_dude = "true" then %>
	<!--#include file="6_1_DWAN_inc.asp" -->
<% ELSE %>
	<!--#include file="6_1_inc.asp" -->
<% END IF %>

<% IF not(DWAN_dude) then %>
<!--#include file="6_1_inc.asp" -->
<% ELSE %>
<!--#include file="6_1_DWAN_inc.asp" -->
<% END IF %>

as far as I'm aware, #include's are processed by the web server before any ASP script is run

Include files are included before the ASP script is executed - therefore all the contents of both include files will be included in the overall ASP script, placed where they are written in the code.

Do a search on 'dynamic includes' or just 'includes' on this forum and you should find a lot of discussion on the matter. There may also be an FAQ. You can google for it aswell.

There are ways to dynamically include scripts, such as Server.Execute(), execute()/fso etc - each has benefits and drawbacks.

Hope that helps..
