The cookie contains 32 characters made up of numbers and letters.<br /><br />My code looks like this:<br /><br /><%<br />Dim varID<br />varID = Request.Cookies("htscallerid")<br />if (varID = "") then<br />Response.Redirect ("http://www.fex.com")<br />else<br />Response.Redirect ("http://www.fexmall.com")<br />end if<br />%><br /><br />The problem is that the cookie appears to be blank. In this case the browser will be redirected to fex.com. If I try to write the cookie's contents, I get a blank screen. The cookie is not blank however.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your help!<br /><br />Charles<br />

If server X writes a cookie, then server Y cannot read it. If application http://myapp sets a cookie, then application http://myap2 cannot read the cookies set by myapp, and vice versa."<br />-- Beginning Active Server Pages 2.0, WROX<br /><br />------------<br />Charles at 5/4/2000 9:16:10 AM<br /><br />I am trying to check if a cookie exists then redirect a user depending on if it exists or not.
