Problem with response.Cookie

[kbrad]

I am trying to add some basic security to my asp web pages.
I have a logon screen which, when the logon and password are checked for
validity, passes the user on to a registration screen using the code
response.Redirect "user_reg.asp?User=" & Request.Form("UserName")

I then inserted the following line before the redirect
response.Cookies("ValidUser") = "ValidUser"

I have the following check at the start of the user_reg.asp page
<%
if request.Cookies("ValidUser") <> "VaildUser" then
response.redirect "user_login.asp"
End if
%>

All that happens now is that when I log in validly user_login.asp is
redisplayed rather than the user_reg.asp.

Perhaps this is not sufficient to set the cookie? I have looked for it but
can't see it amoungst other cookies dated today.

Can anyone advise?

"VaildUser" <> "ValidUser" but failed user

================================

Use session variables.

if session("ValidUser") <> "ValidUser" then
response.redirect "user_login.asp"
End if
And in user_login.asp:

..........
if ok then
session("ValidUser") = "ValidUser"
end if
