Error with 64 or more includes through FrontPage

[TJ]

I have a user that is trying to edit his web pages directly on the server
through FrontPage. It is a Windows 2003 machine running IIS 6. He uses a
lot of page includes through FrontPage. When he tries to include 64 or more
pages all of the includes stop functioning on the page and in the page's
properties the following error appears:

(1) Page "myPage.html" contains an include that is recursive, or that is
nested. Aborted processing link information and FrontPage Components after
including 64 pages at the inclusion of "aPageToInclude.htm".

The error message indicates that there are recursive page includes, but that
is not the case. What is interesting is that if he edits the page on his
machine and then publishes it up to the server it works fine. The problem
only occurs when he reaches 64 includes and tries to save the page while
working on the server.

I have searched and I cannot find any references anywhere to this error
message. I have tried increasing the "Include file cache" in the FrontPage
Server Extensions 2002 configuration with no success. I would like to know
if there is anyway I can adjust the number of includes allowed before this
error occurs, or if there is any other way to stop this from happening.

Any help appreciated. Thank you.
TJ

Hi TJ,

I don't believe the error is because of the number of includes but rather that one include reference another that referenced the
original cause a endless loop of including the same file over and over again.

Under the FP extensions on the server you have to increase the number of allowable includes.

However, it wont fix the recursive include.

The include is not recursive even though the error message indicates that it
is. I can create a blank webpage and include another any other web page 64
times on it with no problems. After the 65th include the page will no longer
save and the error message can be found in the page's properties.

Also, I tried adjusting the CacheMaxInclude property to allow for more
includes with no luck. As a side note, it was set to the default of 16 and
increasing or decreasing it did not seem to have any effect. Am I adjusting
the correct property?

At this point I think I am just going to ask my user to limit himself to 64
includes per page. Still, I am curious to know if anyone else has ever seen
this problem or found a solution.

Thank you,
TJ
