Need help tracking a user through login

[Vermontecher]

Hello,
This may sound very basic to most but it is something that I have not had to do before and I would like to start using this. Here is what I want to do. I have built a web site with many pages. It is user based and a user has to sign in to get access to the inner pages. The sign in works fine. What I need to do is this... When a visitor enters the site there are links they can select. If they are not logged in they are redirected to the login page. (Works fine) When they then enter their username and password they are redirected back to the home page. What I want to do is have the login page then direct them to whatever link they selected. Can I get some help with this please, it will be greatly appreciated. All files are ASP, database is Access 2000 and I would like to do this using cookies I think. If there is another better way then I would have no problem trying something else.

Thanks all,
Vermontecher

You may also consider some "Session" variables.
You'll get probably more accurte replies in the dedicated ASP forum:
