include file error in classic asp file

[escort]

I am trying to include a file in my existing asp file. I am using business vista and I am getting following error

This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.


I know this is due to include file because once I take it off it works fine. I removed all the code from my file except couple of variable definition as follows so I don't think there is any problem with the asp file but something to do with iis configuration. I am not sure what properties I need to change in iis
My include statement is

<!-- #include file="shippingcalc2.asp" -->

My shippingcalc2 is

<%

Dim ShipMethod
Dim ShipCost

%>

Any help in this will be very much appreciated. Thanks

file is supposed to be an absolute path, but you can specify a virtual path as follows:

<!-- #include virtual="shippingcalc2.asp" -->

let me know if this works.
