In the past I have used #include files where both the program and the #include file are in the same directory – works fine. 
In this new project, however, I have 4-5 programs, each in different directories (sub-directories to the root), that all 
call back to the #include file in the root. So I need to specify a path. But whatever path I try, the computer can’t find it. 
Below are my tries . . . 

The root and include file of my website is - http://ccs2468.com/xxx.inc
An example of my program is - http://ccs2468.com/books/books.asp

<!--#include virtual="//xxx.inc" --> 
<!--#include file="//xxx.inc" --> 
<!--#include file=”http://ccs2468.com/xxx.inc" --> 
<!--#include file=”ccs2468.com/xxx.inc" --> 

. . . nothing works. Please, tell what to do.

I thought of a few other possibilities. 
1)	In the old DOS-days they had a thing called PATH where you could instruct the computer to look in certain directories. 
....Is there anything like that for windows?
2)	When you’re setting up a file pointer you use certain code . . . 
	var RelativePathToAccessFile = databasename  
	var AbsolutePathToAccessFile = Server.MapPath( RelativePathToAccessFile )  
	var FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")  
	var ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=" + AbsolutePathToAccessFile + ";"  
	var ConnectionObject = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
