try
./header.htm
./footer.htm

or depending how deep your going just the slash which will take it out to the main

I was able to get it to work. Thanks very much.

The one follow-up question i have... is how to make one .htaccess file filter its style into all sub-directories. Currently, i have to have copies of my header.htm/footer.htm/.htaccess in every directory.. or else the style doesn't effect it.

Here's my code again:

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.foothillsbaptist.org
AuthUserFile /home/footh4/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/footh4/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
Options +Indexes
   IndexOptions FancyIndexing SuppressDescription SuppressHTMLPreamble
   HeaderName header.htm
   ReadmeName footer.htm
   IndexIgnore header.htm footer.htm .htaccess
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/footh4/public_html

If you have any ideas, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks.

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all

is wrong, you need to remove one of the rules, either deny or allow, can't do both

try add
Options +FollowSymlinks
to the top of your .htaccess file

can you access the .htaccess file directly? you aren't stopping people viewing it in the code above but when I tried view it (via url in code) I got a 403 error (forbidden) so something is set somewhere.
Make sure your .htaccess is named properly, some editors change the name to htaccess.txt
