For one thing, it depends strongly on which version of IIS you are running (or if you are using IIS at all). Some [older?] IIS versions treat the root as the path to the DLL that is being executed (i.e. not the virtual root at all, but rather where WebCatalogEngine is located).I strongly recommend using the Globals directory under the WebCatalogEngine to store common files (the usual reason why you would want an absolute path), using the '^' prefix, e.g.[Include file=^/includes/nav.inc]If you don't want to do that, there is the option in preferences "Absolute Path Prefix" which will let you use drive absolute paths.HTHJohn-- John PeacockDirector of Information Research and TechnologyRowman & Littlefield Publishing Group4720 Boston WayLanham, MD 20706301-459-3366 x.5010fax 301-429-5747-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
