querystring variables in #include files

[Todd]

Hello...I'm trying to include querystring variables in a #include but it's
not working

this works:

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

this does not:

<!--#include
file="calendar/calendar.asp?eventtype=1&curmonth=8&curyear=2006"-->

any suggestions.

Thank You

The second would have no sense, since the <!--#include only inserts the
litteral content of the file, whatever it's extension[!!!], in the calling
file, and does not execute by itself.

This litteral content can be asp code or any other and is,
if it is asp code only executed as part of the "include calling" page.

Why do we often stress include called pages should have a .asp extension?

Because with another extension, say: .txt, .inc, .html, if the page were
accessable from the internet, it's content could be read by anyone.

So request.querystring("eventtype") will only return what is in the main
..asp page, even if this [part of code is in the included file.

Seriously, there is no way to do what you suggest. The included file is
treated like a script fragment and shares form & querystring information
with the enclosing document. In fact, the entire document is parsed as one
document ONLY AFTER all of the include files are assembled.

I suspect from your example that you might get what you want from
Server.Execute()
