I've got an interesting problem.  I just deployed a cookie-based script
which worked fine locally on PWS to an NT server, but anything having to do
with cookies isn't working.  Actually, I've noticed that I can write a
cookie and retrieve it's values within the same page, but I can't persist it
and extract values from page to page.

In particular, I'm having users register on a page, which takes their
values, writes them to a cookie, and then passes them to another page,
displaying a customized message.  But because the main page detects for the
presence of the cookie first, the values aren't persisting, the page gets
stuck in a loop, continually going back to the registration page, not
finding the cookie.

I've racked my brain, and this really throws a wrench in my app's
architecture.  Here's a portion of how I'm writing a cookie to a page:

Response.Cookies("candidateOfTheDay")("firstName") = objRS("FirstName")
  Response.Cookies("candidateOfTheDay")("lastName") = objRS("LastName")
  Response.Cookies("candidateOfTheDay")("graphic") = objRS("GraphicURL")
  Response.Cookies("candidateOfTheDay")("party") = objRS("Party")
  Response.Cookies("candidateOfTheDay")("officeSeeking") 
objRS("OfficeSeeking")
  Response.Cookies("candidateOfTheDay")("candidateID") 
objRS("CandidateID")
  Response.Cookies("candidateOfTheDay")("officeSeeking") 
objRS("OfficeSeeking")
  Response.Cookies("candidateOfTheDay").Expires = expireDate

If you can think of anything, please e-mail me at jason@k...

Thanks for the help!

Jason

The cookie is a collection.
