We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) page will not update even if the file included in it has been changed. However, no problem occurs if the file included in the ASP file is in the same virtual root as the ASP file.

WORKAROUND

Put the included files in the same virtual root as the ASP file. Included files and the ASP file can be in different subdirectories as long as they share the same virtual root.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Information Server version 3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
