cookie problem

[alexz]

I got several forms on the intranet that require login + some cookie.
I created a central login page with "HTTP_REFERER" so it
redirects the user back to the currect page with a cookie setup.
The redirect works fine, the problem is that the cookie doesn't get set.
If the login is within the same foldre as the form, there is no problem,
but then i can't have a central location for the login.
here is my cookie.

Name = rcset("Firstname")
Response.Cookies("som_userName")=(name)
Response.Cookies("som_userName").Expires = Date + 5

Thanks in adavanced.

Check in IIS to see if you have any applications defined on subdirectories
in your site.

Also make sure that you are not accessing the intranet by computername and
the computername has an underscore in it. If it does, cane the person who
named it.

Ignore what I said about the application thing. I was thinking of session
variables and what not.
