Hi Chad,
Thanks for your intervention. However,
a flash of inspiration gave me the answer.
Cookie keys *have* to be strings - they cannot be integers.
I wanted a way of storing integer values and get them back.
<%
Dim itema
Dim sitema
Dim itemqa
itema=121+4
itemqa=2
sitema=CStr(itema)
Response.Cookies("List")(sitema)=itemqa
Response.Cookies("List")("item2")="2"
Response.Cookies("List")("item3")="3"
%>
The answer is a simple conversion from integer (here itema)
to string (sitema) using the CStr command. This allows anyone
to use an integer as a cookie key value. It can be read back by
using the command CInt (if ever the viewer wanted to save
an integer value to a access database for example).

Well by having itema="121" the quotes make it a string.
itemqa=2 without quotes, makes it an integer by default.
So, with all of this said, you need to pick a datatype and stick with
it. If you're trying to get itema = itemqa you could either change
itemqa into a string, or simply make it a string instead of an
integer...
I hope this helps, also I have trouble understanding your last
question. If it's a variable that you are using, I believe you have to
declare it.
