Hi folks,
I have a real dumb question. There isn't a HTML support forum so I am adding it here.
I know I can include files in asp :
<!-- #include virtual="somef.ile" -->
and this works fine.
I want to do the same in my .htm files. I have tried alot of things but can't seem to find a solution. I know it's something really simple but just can't seem to be able to put my finger on it! 
Anyone got any ideas?

Can't change the file extensions from HTM / HTML to ASP. There has gotta be a way other then that.
I'll check out the link, thank you both for the replies.

I went through the link, everything I'm doing is fine according to the information there. The description on the link is mainly for Unix based servers, I wonder why the same does not work with NT ones.
Bottom line is, am still stuck with the problem.

Have you ensured that SSI is enabled on the server?
Are you using an extension that the server is configured to recognise as an include file (eg .shtml)?
(IIS Manager -> Default Web Site -> Properties -> Home Directory -> Configuration)

Yup it had SHTML there. I have added .inc to it, with the same dll reference.
From what I understand is if I have a file called footer.inc and I want it to appear on the page default.htm, I have to have the .inc extension configured the way you had said. If that's the case then it should work fine.
I have even added .htm & .html extensions there. Sadly, it still does not solve the problem.

Hmm, did you make sure that it was set to be processed by the sslinc.dll file?
Can't think of anything else.. perhaps show us the code you are using?
Cheers,
Andrew

Yup, they are set to that dll file. Here's the code, not much to it really:
<!-- #include virtual="incl.inc" -->

And whats the error you are receiving?
Are you running it from an ASP file or a HTML file?

Am using it in HTML files, it works like a charm with ASP pages. In the HTML files I get no errors. It just does not show the contents of the included file. As if the include statement isn't there.

I think I had reda something somewhere that the page must be .shtml to process any include files. I didn't read the above article so that may have covered, just a thought.

As snaayk said I don't think you can use includes in HTML files. Also the page in that link Doug posted explicitly says that they use .shtml files to be able to include other files.

Thank you all for your helpful comments.
I got it to work  , just like what Bunce said. You have to configure IIS to be able allow include files in HTML pages. I had done that but I guess you need to restart the server to get it to work. And it works !!
The reason why I couldn't rename the files was coz, I almost 3GB of html files that needed the include file, I didn't want to rename the files and redo the links and so on.
I found out the reason why HTML files do not have the include 'activated' is coz it takes longer for IIS to process it. So to improve on performance they have other extensions like SHTM and so on to do the includes.
