 ASP error 0131 - "Disallowed Parent Path"

Codecharge creates this code for some pages stored in a subdirectory of my
site:

'Include Common Files @1-AED2A97A
%>
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="..\Common.asp"-->
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="..\Cache.asp" -->
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="..\Template.asp" -->
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="..\Sorter.asp" -->
<!-- #INCLUDE FILE="..\Navigator.asp" -->
<%
'End Include Common Files

I get ASP error 0131 - Disallowed Parent Path - on IIS 6 on Windows Server
2003.
This because the server option "Enable Parent Paths" is not checked.
If I want codecharge generated pages to run, I must enable this server
option.
Is there any way to modify generated code (not hard-code) that allows the
server option remains unchecked ?

Thanks

I warned the codecharge support people about this exactly one week ago.

----------- from my caselog ---------------------
I am migrating existing code from a Win2000 server to a Win2003 server. It
will not run "as is".

The reason: IIS 6 prohibits "Parent Paths" (e.g., "../common.asp") by
default. The Microsoft documentation indicates this to be a security risk if
it is allowed, which apparently is the reason this ISP has left it turned
off. Refer to :

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;332117

for details on this.

Although I have contacted the ISP about changing this, I have no reply yet.

You should be aware that this will most likely affect everyone who publishes
to IIS version 6 (if you are not already aware of it).

As I don't expect my ISP to change the setting, I will need your
recommendation on how to make the code work within the limits of this
restriction.

I wrote this on the subject, too:

My ISP was happy to change the setting with no complaining at all.

I think not all ISPs will do that...

I suspect that will be true. I was completely surprised by my ISP being so
willing to change.
