ASP uses FSO to read the template code

M_Root is the file name. You can use relative paths.
Call example:
Response. Write (LoadFile ("Test.htm "))

Function LoadFile (m_Root)
Dim Filename, fso, hndFile
Filename = m_Root
If Right (Filename, 1) <> "/" And Right (Filename, 1) <> "\" Then Filename = Filename &"/"
Filename = Server. MapPath (Filename & m_FileName)
Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting. FileSystemObject ")
If Not fso. FileExists (Filename) Then ShowError ("template file" & m_FileName & "does Not exist! ")
Set hndFile = fso. OpenTextFile (Filename)
LoadFile = hndFile. ReadAll
Set hndFile = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
If LoadFile = "" Then ShowError ("the template file cannot be read" & m_FileName & "or the file is empty! ")
End Function
