1. created http://mysecretbase.com/helloworld.cfm, which lets say resides at c:/websites/mysecretbase.
2. Created c:/storage/old/yoohoo.cfm, which contains only the text "hello world!". This folder has nothing to do with any web root. 3. helloworld.cfm contains only the line <cfinclude template="../../storage/old/yoo.cfm"> Yes you tried to use a relative link in your cfinclude that will not work outside of the current webroot. The webroot is what a relative path is relative to. To go outside of the webroot you need to use an absolute path with a ColdFusion mapping. Go into the CF administrator and create a mapping in the "mappings" section. Give it a logical path of say "\storageMapping" and a Directory path of "c:\storage" Then you would write the <cfinlcude> in helloworld.cfm with an absolute path like this. <cfinclude template="\storageMapping\old\you.cmf">. Notice how the template parameter starts with the logical path created in the ColdFusion mapping. You can then drill down from the Directory path provided in the mapping to any file underneath it. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
