Maybe I don't understand cookies correctly. When some visits my site

When they come back, that info is read from the cookie and they can
log in without having to remember their id/pw.

Assume the site iswww.foobar.comIt works as long as they browse towww.foobar.com. If they browse to foobar.com it doesn't see the
cookie. It they browse towww.foobar.com/Stuff.aspx, it doesn't see
the cookie.

What am I missing? Do I need to store the cookie differently?

Response.Cookies("CookieName").Value =
tmpObject.Text.Trim
Response.Cookies("CookieName").Expires =
DateTime.Now.AddDays(1000)

The cookie looks fine - I checked it through the browsers (IE 6 and
FireFox).

Hi Bill,

add Trace="true" to the @Page directive at the start of the page, then
you should see details of your cookies

<%@ Page Trace="true" ... %>

Hope this helps to find the problem
