Hi, I have an IIS server with a universal web.config for connection strings. &nbsp;i have older classic asp files I wrote a script for to parse the web.config file. &nbsp;I want both the connection.asp and the web.config to sit on the root level.<br />
<br />
I successfully connect to the connection .asp at the root level using this tag within the classic asp pages &nbsp;&lt;!--#include virtual=&quot;/ClientConnection<wbr />.asp&quot;--&gt;<br />
<br />
But when it reads this file, it will only connect to a web.config file within the folder, not at the root - this is the code that loads the web.config <br />
<br />
xmlDoc.Load(Server.Mappath<wbr />(&quot;web.conf<wbr />ig&quot;))<br />
<br />
Can I make this to force it to point to a root file?<br />

Point xmldoc.load to a root file when it is being called be a virtual directory tag within a subfolder

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
