It makes sense what you are trying to do. However, I don't know how 
possible it would be to do. If you were to try to go to www.site.com/ny, 
the sever would naturally try to access a folder named "ny" unless the 
server was configured somehow to ignore folders and have everything go to 
the www.site.com/default.asp, which I still don't think would be very 
possible. However, I have been known to be wrong a time or two before.

Thanks for the quick reply, Soren.
 
see, what i'm thinking is that your 'test' folder doesnt even exist - that
the correct page will still load.
 
so all i (theoretically) have is one page in my site - call it
www.site.com/default.asp 
but thru that one page i can access info about New York if i go to
www.site.com/ny and LA if i go to www.site.com/la - all in that one
default.asp page.
 
does this make sense? and is it doable?
 
thanks again!
M

How about something like this....

YouAreHere = Request.ServerVariables("URL")

ThisPage = Right(YouAreHere,Len(YouAreHere) - InstrRev(YouAreHere,"/"))

For example http://www.tknw.com/test is the same as 
http://www.tknw.com/test/default.asp

Hi all

is it possible in ASP to access a part of the URL as a querystring?

example: www.site.com/folder

can the index.asp in the root of this site show a page that is based on 
the
"folder" parameter - instead of simply showing the index.asp file that 
sits
inside of "folder"?

another example: goto www.whois.sc now goto www.whois.sc/cnn.com 
obviously there isnt a folder for every single domain name within the
whois.sc site. so how do they access the URL as a parameter?

another exmple (i;m on a roll, don't stop me):
http://profiles.yahoo.com/tapnack 

can this sort of thing be done in ASP?

many thanks
Moshe
