Not with #include. The only way to dynamically "include" a page is via
Server.Execute( varPageName). You can read about it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...m_seromexe.asp

Is there a way to use that to call a page/script stored on a client machine,
that the client can specify?

FAQ:
How do I dynamically include files? http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2042
Jeff
No. The page has to be served by a web server.
You'll have to upload the file to the server where it can be executed.

What exactly is the overall picture ?
Do you want to execute this code server side (some kind of personnalizatio n)
? One for each client ? Is this some client side personnalizatio n ?
Knowing what you are trying to achieve will help to make better
suggestions...

The idea is to get a listing of all .exe files in a directory on a client
computer and pass the information back to a server to update a database. The
directory is specified by the user via a form on an Extranet.
It could be possible to have a file (script or something) on the client
machine, which could be invoked via a page on the Extranet, but I still don't
know how that would really work if I can't do a #include or server.execute to
a file other than a file on the server.

ASP is not the right technology for this... Is this on a private network?
If so, I suggest you look into something like SMS or Altiris or something
along those lines. A Web page should have no rights whatsoever to scan a
client's hard drive and take inventory of it... Imagine if that were
default browser behavior for such a thing to be allowed. What happens when
you go to a site that is looking for C:\MyCreditCard Numbers.txt?

#include and server.execute are intended to execute server side code.
You could use the HTML "script" tag with the src attribute to point to a
local javaScript file.
IMO it would be better to just have an ASP Page that send the appropriate
script to the browser (so that you don't have to deploy anything to target
machines). In your client side JavaScript code you sould be able to create a
Scripting.FileS ystemObject to browse a directory for files.
Note that users will have to accept to run this script or that you'll have
to alter a global security policy as this is obviously not allowed by
default...

What will happen if header files with the exact same names but with

Are these header files are included more than once? If so, is it the
