Frontpage Include file doesn't work. ACK!

[Bonnie]

Help!

I am trying to do the simplest thing - include a .htm
file in another file in a web using FrontPage 2003. And
it doesn't work! See
http://paoc.mit.edu/cmi/applications/test.htm.

I have my Browse time and Author time components turned
on. It is a real htm file not asp. The html code looks
as it should.

I deleted the line
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0">
just in case, because of some advice in another post, and
that didn't seem to matter. So I put it back in.

I have recalculated the hyperlinks multiple times, every
time I try something new, and that never helps. The
included file is just not shown!

The server is IIS, not sure of version. It is running
FP extensions, but that should not matter for includes.

When I view the page in IE6 and check the source code I
see what I think is a check sum error:
<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="sidebar_appl.htm"
TAG="BODY" startspan --><!--webbot bot="Include" endspan
i-checksum="0" -->

I had the same trouble in FP 2000 and upgraded to 2003 but
the problem remains. Everything else is hunkie dorie
with FP 2003 so far.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Thanks.

FP Includes are design time tools - not like SSI - and must be valid complete HTML pages
Your include at
http://paoc.mit.edu/cmi/applications/sidebar_appl.htm
Just has a table in it - not a valid html page
Paste the table into a valid html page inside of the BODY tags
