I need help with setting cookies - posted in the DW forum 2 - Urgent

[TonyU]

I'm trying to set a cookie after the user logs in but I'm having problems setting it with the code below in green . Can someone help me please? Thanks

After they log in, I'm appending this code:
<%
if request.cookies(&quot;username&quot(&quot;password&quot = &quot;&quot; then
response.redirect &quot;login.asp&quot;
end if
%>

to the rest of my pages.


Log In Page Code
<%@LANGUAGE=&quot;VBSCRIPT&quot;%>
<!--#include file=&quot;Connections/postcards.asp&quot; -->
<%

MM_LoginAction = Request.ServerVariables(&quot;URL&quot
If Request.QueryString<>&quot;&quot; Then MM_LoginAction = MM_LoginAction + &quot;?&quot; + Request.QueryString
MM_valUsername=CStr(Request.Form(&quot;login&quot)
If MM_valUsername <> &quot;&quot; Then
MM_fldUserAuthorization=&quot;&quot;
MM_redirectLoginSuccess=&quot;Welcome.asp&quot;
MM_redirectLoginFailed=&quot;login.asp?valid=false&quot;
MM_flag=&quot;ADODB.Recordset&quot;
set MM_rsUser = Server.CreateObject(MM_flag)
MM_rsUser.ActiveConnection = MM_postcards_STRING
MM_rsUser.Source = &quot;SELECT username, password&quot;
If MM_fldUserAuthorization <> &quot;&quot; Then MM_rsUser.Source = MM_rsUser.Source & &quot;,&quot; & MM_fldUserAuthorization
MM_rsUser.Source = MM_rsUser.Source & &quot; FROM Members WHERE username='&quot; & MM_valUsername &&quot;' AND password='&quot; & CStr(Request.Form(&quot;password&quot) & &quot;'&quot;
MM_rsUser.CursorType = 0
MM_rsUser.CursorLocation = 2
MM_rsUser.LockType = 3
MM_rsUser.Open

If Not MM_rsUser.EOF Or Not MM_rsUser.BOF Then

Well, you are writing two cookies here:

Response.Cookies(&quot;username&quot = MM_valUsername
Response.Cookies(&quot;password&quot = MM_valPassword

but trying to call one cookie here:

<%
if request.cookies(&quot;username&quot(&quot;password&quot = &quot;&quot; then
response.redirect &quot;login.asp&quot;
end if
%>

So change your call to something like this:

<%
if request.cookies(&quot;username&quot = &quot;&quot; then
response.redirect &quot;login.asp&quot;
end if
if request.cookies(&quot;password&quot = &quot;&quot; then
response.redirect &quot;login.asp&quot;
end if
%>
