Can I dynamically obtain include files

[Sue Barth]

Hello,
I'm trying to build a part of an application that will use an include file
based on a user's selection (still in ASP 3.0!).
Their selection is stored in a database. I've tried using variables as
either the entire include file or in parts of the include file, but nothing
I've tried works - I.e.:

myTemplate=objRS("template")
<!-- #include file="inc_<% response.write myTemplate %>.asp" -->

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,
Sue

nope. But you can do IF statements. Both files actually get included but
only the one used.
See www.aspfaq.com for details.

Try Server.Execute("myTemplate.asp")
All FORM vars are passed to it and all session vars, application vars,
cookies are available to the script. It's a powerful command.
