The root of your website is wherever you have the particular site set
to. Creating a virtual directory doesn't change the root for files
within that directory. So if your website (Default Web Site in this
case) points to C:\inetpub\wwwroot for instance and you create a virtual
directory in that website pointed to C:\myVirtDir, referencing the root
("/") in the files in myVirtDir will point at c:\inetpub\wwwroot.Virtual directories aren't new websites, they are simply subfolders of their parent website. If you want a completely separate website you need to create a new website within IIS, not a new virtual directory. If you're on XP I don't think it allows you to have any other sites than the Default Website, but I might be wrong.

I tried that but could not get it to work - perhaps I goofed. I right-clicked on Default Web Site and selected New -> Virtual directory and created one called sesi which points to sesius. DBConn.asp is located within the root of sesius so I added the code '<!-- #include virtual="/DBConn.asp" -->' (I also tried it without the slash), but when trying it I get the error message, "The include file '/DBConn.asp' was not found. sesi/Administration/WhatsNew/WhatsNewEdit.asp, line 2" Am I putting this together incorrectly?
