Rick, You cannot "include" (cfinclude) a file from a different server unless yo u use a UNC or a CF mapping - even then the file will NOT be executing on t he remote server - it would execute inside the scope created on a server tha t called for it. If you are wanting your banner code to run on the remote server and just handle the result (banner html code presumably), then you have 2 common options (and a bunch of weird ones I suppose). You can eith er use CFHTTP to "get" the code and dump it to the page - in which case it executes on the remote server and delivers the result to your CFHTTP request, or you can create a JavaScript output with a CFM extension and include it using the <script> tag with the src attribute - in this case t he CFM page is restricted to delivering ONLY valid java script, so stick to "document.write( )" type commands on the output. There's probably some other ideas out there - but you have to keep in mind where the code is actually executing - remotely or locally.

The normal SSI instruction doesn't work, since it is an entirely differen t server (I assume), but I don't know what the CF commands are to reference this cgi script. I'm not even sure if I am asking this question correctly.
