You could also use the resource exists action in the included pipeline to include an empty document if the resource is not found.
Also, if you are doing this with several documents, you could generate the cinclude elements dynamically based on the presence of the files. For this you could start with the directory generator, or just do it manually in an xsp, etc. HTH, Geoff > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Riedel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, June 15, 2003 6:42 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: conditional cincludes? > > > > How do I check for the instance of a file before > > attempting to cinclude it?
