Problems with a counter

[Wynd]

Ok, this is stumping me. I have these files:

(root folder)
--index.asp, uses the counter code
--(counter folder)

(counter folder)
--counter.asp, code for the counter
--demo.asp, counter test page
--counter.txt, number of people who have visited.

This is what is happening: When I try to load the index.asp page, I get a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error (because of the counter). But, when I go to the demo.asp page, it works fine. So I go back to the nindex.asp page, and it is working fine! This is confusing me, can someone please tell me why? I can post the code for the files if you need to.

K, here it is. One thing, I have it as include virtual, i tried include file but it gave the same results.

I used this in the index.asp file

<!--#include file="counter/counter.asp"-->

and changed line 39 0r so in the counter.asp to this

fn = Server.MapPath("counter/counter.txt")

and it worked fine from the index.asp file, but then of course it got the error from the demo.asp file, what i would do is put these to files in the same place and adjust the Server.MapPath accordingly

Well, that's ok, I don't really need the demo.asp file anyways, it was a test. Thanks alot!
