Hi All,

In my ASP file, located at the "/test" directory of the website, I include
another ASP file as below.

<!--#include file="../templates/_header.asp"-->

Inside the _header.asp file, how can I get the current file (_header.asp)
directory? I need to get the web relative/absolute directory of _header.asp,
but instead even if I can get the physical directory location of that file
should be fine.

I tried Request.ServerVariables("") with almost all the variables, but none
gave me what I wanted. This is necessory, becase the location of _header.asp
and the file which includes that can vary.

Please give me a help/clue as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance!
Eranga

You can't, since the ASP code inside the include file thinks it is being
executed from the file calling it. One thing you might consider is
declaring a variable in the parent file, and referencing it in the #include
file.

<%
scr = request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME")
includedPath = left(scr,instrRev(scr,"/")-1) & "/templates/_header.asp"
%>
<!--#include file="../templates/_header.asp"-->

(Then reference the includedPath variable within the include file.)

Next time, please take a look at your cross-post list. This has nothing to
do with databases or components, and certainly has nothing to do with
ASP.NET. Followups set to asp.general ONLY.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the advice. Also I will make sure to check my cross-post list
next time.
