Ok fellas, let’s hunker down on this one and figure it out.

I HATE the way that Dreamweaver (MX 2004) inserts the include code. So when I save a file, it saves the include code. So when I edit an include it, the changes don’t carry over anywhere because Dreamweaver has over written it directly into the file. I was hoping to find a checkbox somewhere to deactivate this annoyance but cannot.

Perhaps you know how to fix it…

Thanks for the time,

nj
