Oh... I wasn't aware of that problem. I've only used ASP on IIS, and I've never put the @ Language in.

The difficulty in my question is that unless the very first statement of a vbscript .asp file sets the language, you get:

"The @ command must be the first command within the Active Server Page."

If content.asp and home.asp both have @ Language=VBScript, and you get another error when including the file, @ Command can only occur once in an ASP file.

The semi-answer is that the @ Language=VBScript can apparently be removed without ill-effects on a IIs server. I guess this is because vbscript is it's default language.

Another solution is to have an additional file, contentguts.asp. content.asp would then contain the required page shell (including the language=vbscript) and simply include contentguts.asp. home.asp could then include content.asp without ill effects. The point of my question was to see if there was a good way of avoiding the additional file.

ASP uses SSI tags to include files.
