Include a file that has your code.

Hope this helps you.

HTML is not an active server code runner. The solution you are taking is good.

ok,
so just for confirm...
I CAN CALL ASP CODE FROM AN ASP FILE(for example MAINP.ASP CAN call ROUTINE.ASP)
but
I CAN NOT CALL ASP CODE FROM AN HTML FILE(for example MAINP.HTML CAN NOT call ROUTINE.ASP)

is it ok?

You have to allow the active server pages option in your iis configuration in order to run asp pages. What kind of error did you get!!!

If you have access to IIS, you can confgure it to allow .HTM and .HTML extensions to be parsed by the ASP processor (this is actually something that I do on a regular basis for customers, especially in cases where we want to preserve page names for SEO purposes):
The instructions below are for IIS 6:
(1) Open IIS, find your site in the left nav, right-click and select "Properties".
(2) When the properties box comes up, click the "Home Directory" tab. In the "Application Settings" box near the bottom, click on "Configuration."
(3) In the top box, scroll down to the .asp selection. Select it and click "Edit."
(4) Select the entire path and filename in this box, and hit Ctrl-C to copy it,. This is the full path to your ASP processor. Once copied, hit "Cancel" to close.
(5) Back in the "Application Configuration" box, click "Add." A new box will pop up.
(6) In this box, set the following:
Executable: (Hi Ctrl-V to past the ASP executable here)
Extension: HTM
Verbs: Select "Limit To" ... in the box type "GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE" (without the quotes)
(7) Click "OK." The box will close.
(8) Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7, replacing the extension with HTML.
Continue to hit "OK" until you get back to the main IIS screen. That's all there is to it!
