<%
if Request("username") = "" or (CustomersRS.eof and CustomersRS.bof) then
response.redirect "CheckOutFail.asp"
else
if Request.Form("RememberMe") = "check" then
Response.Cookies("username").Expires=Date + 365
Response.Cookies("password").Expires=Date + 365
Response.Cookies("rememberme").Expires=Date + 365
response.cookies("username")=Request("username")
response.cookies("pass")=Request("password")
response.cookies("rememberme")=Request("RememberMe ")
else
Response.Cookies("username").Expires="1/1/80"
Response.Cookies("password").Expires="1/1/80"
Response.Cookies("rememberme").Expires="1/1/80"
end if
strFn=cstr(CustomersRS("firstname"))
Response.Cookies("firstname").Expires=Date + 365
response.cookies("firstname")=ucase(left(strFn,1)) & right(strFn,len(strFn)-1)
response.cookies("Products")("CustomerID")=Custome rsRS("CustomerID")
response.redirect "index.asp"
end if
%>

i wrote it this way but its not working

Why do you want to use cookies for this when you are already querying the database for the username? If the table you are querying has first and last name as well then why not just grab those to display if not eof? With cookies you could automatically authenticate them without running a recordset. Of course, in most cases, if another user was using their machine then they would typically have access to the site as well.
