Hi Glenn, Thanks for your reply. This works on RootsWeb: <!--#include virtual="../00_ssi/banner.htm" --> This does not work: <!--#include virtual="/00_ssi/banner.htm" --> <!--#include file="../00_ssi/banner.htm" --> <!--#include virtual="00_ssi/banner.htm" --> This works on my local PC web server (IIS7): <!--#include virtual="/00_ssi/banner.htm" --> <!--#include file="../00_ssi/banner.htm" --> <!--#include virtual="00_ssi/banner.htm" --> This does not work: <!--#include virtual="../00_ssi/banner.htm" --> So, barring inept errors on my part, it seems that the only thing that works on RootsWeb is the *only* thing that doesn't work on my local web server. And, what works is not what you said would work :-( Jim Rickenbacker... you use RootsWeb and IIS. What works for you? Others please speak to what works on RootsWeb. Many thanks!
