I am not positive if I completely understand what you are trying to
accomplish, but from what I am gathering, it sounds like the session object
would work.
<%
session("username") = request("name") -- from the html form
session("password") = request("password") -- from the html form
%>
the username and password can then be retrieved for as long as the client's
browser window is open
<%
set connect = server.createobject("adodb.connection")
connect.open "passwordfile"
set look = ("select password from passwordfile where username='" &
session("username") & "'")
if session("password") <> look("password") then
response.redirect "youdonthavetherightpassword.asp"
end if
%>
instead of using cookies, because some clients browsers will not allow your
cookies to be set
