HI Everyone,
I am trying to create a cookie with vbscript. No matter what syntax I
use it errors out on the line with the response object. I am new to asp
and vbscript and the books aren't working.

Sub Login_onclick
window.alert (uspw.user.value)
Response.Cookies("OilLogin")("User")=(uspw.User.value) 'uspw is the name of the form
window.alert (request.cookies("OilLogin")("User"))
End Sub

The first msgbox appears with the correct input data but then nothing! I
know this is simple and should work but does not. Can someone please help?

Is this subroutine located before the <html> tag? When you set cookies they need to be set before the HTML tag (before content is sent to the browser).

There is a way aroud it though. If you need to set a cookie within the HTML tag (which I am assuming you are doing here), you need to incldue the following right after your <%@ Languge="VBScript" %> tag at the very top of your document:

<% response.buffer = true %>

When you set the buffer, the page will be retained in memeory until the entire page is processed. I hope this helps!
