Need help with .asp Virtual Includes

hi,

i using;

dreamweaver 8
win xp pro
iis6

virtual directory information in iis:
local path: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\hseih
application name: hseih
execute permissions: scripts
configurations>options>enable parent paths: checked
read, write, browsing, script secure access, log visits, index source: checked

dreamweaver site setup information:
local root: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\hseih\
links relative to: site root
server model: asp/vbscript
access: local/nework
testing server folder: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\hseih\
url prefix: http://localhost/hseih/


heres code im using in index.asp file, footer.asp file in same directory.

<!--#include virtual="/header.asp"--> or
<!--#include virtual="header.asp"-->

very simple, believe have setup correctly, , should work. receive:

error type:
active server pages, asp 0126 (0x80004005)
the include file 'header.asp' not found.
/hseih/index.asp, line 10

however, work wheni add root directory name include path follows:

<!--#include virtual="/hseih/header.asp"-->

its there's setup issue somewhere, iis misinterpreting root of site. when im specifying use site root, , use of "/" in include path - doesnt specify root directory?

any insight appreciate.

thanks!

if you're using relative path, use:

<!--#include file="../relative/path/to/file.asp"-->

if you're using absolute path root of site, use:

<!--#include virtual="/absolute/path/from/root/to/file.asp"-->

make sense?

best regards,
chris
