I figured something out that works
example
response.write "<center><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=3><b>Selected Requests removed!</b></font></center>"
response.write "<div align=""center""><a href=""default.asp"">Back to Forum</a></div>"
%> <!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_footer.asp" --> <%
response.write "<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=cancel_replies.asp"">"
Response.End
In bold is where I put the <!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_footer.asp" --> but I added the %> and <% before and after it and all is fine now
