I have set a cookie on my site and then straight after that i dsiplayed what was stored in the cookie to make sure it worked

if did?

however after that i'm using a response.redirect to another page.

This page can not get the value of the cookie. When i try to display it (the same way i did on the previous page that worked) is is displaying nothing!!?

same thing happens with sessions varibles too

does it work when you click through to another page ?

Ok i've sort of figured out what the problem was. I just dont know why it was a propblem.

The pages are in two sepearte shares on the intranet.

The one that creates the cookie is on a hidden share that i use for development and testing

the page that is trying to read the cookie is on another shared folder this one not hidden.

Both are are on the same server.
Both work with cookies with in the folders.
One is hidden
One is not.
Neither will pass the cookie to the other.

putting the page that creates the cookie inside the same folder as the page that requests it works.

So this is what ive done.

So as i said i fixed it (well found a work around), just dont know what the problem was

Are the shares assigned different internal IP addresses? I've never tried what you're doing before so I don't know, but each cookie has an associated IP address.
