David's server talk is worth a mention again! He got me into LC server. It was so nice not to have learn php in depth as I could leverage my LC knowledge and existing code. I use server every day.
But a question... I have always been confused with the difference between "start using' and "include" but I think I get it now. "Start using" is just like desktop and the message path goes thru it in order of the "start using"s take on desktop. "Include" is including the code into the script that invokes it. So as Mark said you could use includes to set global vars or even a different include file of constants depending on the data received in the web request. Is this correct?
