Text Or Include File Vs. Using Database
Question about the performance of using an include file or reading from a text file compared to hitting the database.
I set up a client's web site so they can post a weekly message and also post a "of special interest" message on their home page. Originally these messages were stored in and retrieved from an Access 2000 database. I decided to try writing the messages to a text file then retrieving it through include file and also tried the text streaming object.
I used netmechanic.com to gauge the download times for all three methods on a 56K modem. According to the results, using the database was around 4 seconds quicker. Does this sound right? The site is on a shared hosting package using Win2000.

I'm trying to include a value from a text file for the txRate variable in the code below. I tried using the include function as shown, but the double quotes are of course killing it. I don't want to use a data base to get this value, I just want the info from a text file. Can anyone suggest a solution? Code:

I'm working on an application that I will make use of "constants". I put
contants in quotes becuase they will change periodically (Logo path, css
path, psw expiration times etc). From a system admin standpoint does it make
sense to put them in a constants file, or put them in a database?
My database argument is that they can be modified by the customer via some
web forms.
My contants include file argument is that they can't be modified as easiliy
by a half wit customer, and there is no database overhead.

how to replace carriage return upon extracting text from Access file.
However I think it will be smarter to do it before (during) inserting text into acess file.
It might be primitive question, but I started my ASP learning just last week and many things are confusing me on this stage.
QUESTION:
What should I change in my ASP file code (file inserted data from the HTML form file into database file) to replace all carriage returns and line brakes during inserting text into field GuestSory? Code:

I want to be to call my menu from another file onto my page so that i dont have to add it to every page of my website. The problem is when i try to add it using the include method it says that only one include file is allowed on an ASP. The other include file is my connection string so i cant really take that out of the page because then nothing else will work!
How can i get the menu page included as well as the connecting string?
Have added the code below, i have highlighted the 2 include files that i want to use in blue, i have also left the div tag in for where i currently have the menu which is what i want to take out and have ther include file there instead, if that makes sense. Basically the bit in red i want to be able to remove from all of my pages and add the blue file above the red code in instead, but i dont know how!!!!! Code:

I have an asp page written entirely in jscript with a vbscript used as an include file which one variable on the page must access.
When the page runs, I run into jscript complilation errors when it tries to access the include file (since it is written in vbscript), and I can't figure out how to get the two to work together. How do you get both scripting languages to work on the same page?

At my site I have designed a framework with tabs as below:
(tabs_1.asp)
+----+ +------+ +-------+
| MC | | Cars | | Boats |
+ +-------------------------
then, into tabs_1.asp I include another page
(tabs_1_2.asp)
--------+ +--------------
| New | | Used | | Crasched |
+-----+ +------+ +----------+
Works fine so far... Here comes the problem...
The file tabs_1_2.asp has an included page (data.asp) witch doesnt appear...
When I look at the sourcecode from the webbrowser it seems to have been included but nothing is visible.
Is it inpossible to make several includes in the way I described?

How can I include a .cgi file in an .ASP file?
I've tried #include, Server.Transfer, and Server.Execute (yes, I know the last two are
only for ASP, but I tried it anyway).
If I have to, I guess I'll use ASPHTTP to do an http call to the file but first I wanted
to see if there was a more elegant way to do it
Is there an efficient way to include the output of a .cgi file in an ASP file?

I do almost exclusively ASP on IIS, so I'm stupid when it comes to dealing with flat HTML on Linux/Apache.I have a static site on a Linux box where I want to do an include on an ASP file on an IIS box, and can't make it work.
I've tried <!--#include virtual="http://where.com/abc.asp"-->
and <!--#include virtual="http://where.com/abc.txt"-->
The ".txt" extension try was in case it's true what I heard that IIS won't let a remote server execute an ASP in an include file.
Also tried <!--#include file=...", even though I know from experience that Apache requires "virtual," not "file."
And also tried <!--#exec cgi=...".
NOT drawing any errors: the generated output just repeats the "<!--#include..." line instead of outputting results from the ASP file.

The current html file has to 2 drop down boxes. Depending on the selection chosen, there is a predetermined html file to load.My new asp file will replace the current html that has the 2 drop down boxes and it has its own set of design and graphics. So depending on the selection chosen, instead of loading the predetermined html file, I need to grap a section of the contents in this predetermined html file and add it to the content section of my asp file dynamic.
See, another very customised app. creates this predetermined html file dynamically and I have no access to this. My work around is to get the main content I want from this html and include it in my asp file dynamically.

I have a menu that I use as an include file. it's a horizontal menu that extends to show sub menus.
the table the menu is in has silver background. my problem is that when i use the page as a include file the background color for the menu expands to cover the whole page. is there an issue with the include files that would cause the table color to migrate to all the tables?
if any one knows another way i can use this menu as an include file and keep the background color from migrating it would be greatly appreciated.

I used to do a lot with asp and now I'm going to use asp.net technology In asp I had a file functions.asp with all my functions I used on several pages like generating connection to database, generating links on pages and things like that.
Than I had <!-- #include file="..includefunctions.asp"--> statement on
each asp page, at the top of the page.
I would like to know, how is this in asp.net You use the same procedure or is there some other, better way to include functions? I read one book but I didn't found any instructions?

Is it possible to use the same include file on one ASP. Example, I have a logic for valid and invalid users but I'll use the same include file for both scenarios; the difference would only be the position where I'll display the include file in the code for example I want to display it on the top and the other at the bottom part?
Ex.
<!--#include file="../save/include_page.asp"-->
