Hi Dismounted,

Thanks for the thoughts. Admittedly I am a novice, so please bear with me. It seems the problem is due to relative paths in all the files. The site home page (the page in question) is in the root folder. The calendar.php file is in the /forum/ folder. If I understand your suggestion correctly, I can copy the calendar.php code into the home page rather than using an include. I tried this and modified the paths on all the includes for that file accordingly. But we then have the same problem with the first file called down the line - in this case my modified code can now find /forum/global.php but returns an error because /includes/init.php can't be found. I would then need to modify the path in global.php and so on back to who knows where. That seems more than a little convoluted, not to mention opening the door to other issues.

Hopefully I am missing something simple. As you can tell I could really use some guidance.

Thanks for any help.
