Hi all, long time no text, how are we all?You can call me stupid here but I'm in a place I've not been before.
I'm building a site where I want users to be able to customize the look and feel.
Now, one of these options is to allow a user to chose different menu systems for they're page.
I've made a handfull of gui table based menus with nice artworks etc. at the moment I'm pulling
them into the page via the include method whic is fine. What I would like to do is give them the ability to choose
a menu style from a list and then store a new include file into a database. Then when the page loads the include file
would contain the correct path to the menu.
I've also tried to change the path in the code i.e. <!--#include virtual="putting asp here"-->.
This is the first time I've used include files and feel like I've missed out a big part here - to be honest
I'm baffled as to why I can't seem to get this to work. I've tried al sorts but I'm obviousley in the dark here
any light would be appreciated! cheers all and thank's for reading

I'm sorted! I managed to figure it out with the help of a friend.
It seems include files don't function this way and I ended up using a Macro
Sweeeeet!
works a treat now via if else commands, althouhg if anyone can tell me how I make this
<% call menu1() %> work with a database it would be much appreciated
I don't really want to ring up loads of if else commands and would like to expand on the whole code eventually
