Correct, no expiry date and the cookie is effectively just a temporary one and will be removed when the browser is closed.
AFAIK Cookies are set via paths rather than 'by page' so having (in your example) strUniqueID = "/" then the cookie is valid for the entire domain.
e.g If I set a cookie from www.daoc-halo.com with the strUniqueID = "/" then for every page my users vistis under that domain name, the browser will send the cookie to the server.
If I set the strUniqueId to "/forum/" then only when the user is browsing www.daoc-halo.com/forum/.... would the browser transmit the cookie.
If you do not state an expiry period a cookie will expire when the user closes the browser.
Yup, that is correct....
quote: If you do state an expiry period such as
Response.Cookies(strUniqueID).expires = now + 365 Response.Cookies(strUniqueID)(test)=(strSize)
That expiry period only holds true for the page that you are on?
The expiration period applies to all pages that are within that directory. If you want to handle one cookie for multiple directories, look at the code Snitz uses for it's cookies.
Hope that helps...

If, as in this example, I have a couple of cookies that are written from the inc_functions.asp (called from the main forum directory), and then have another cookie from inc_something.asp which is in the include directory, that would need another expirory statement?
Sorry to be dim..

Using the .Path portion allows you to specify the location of the cookie....
Here is the Snitz code I was talking about:
if strSetCookieToForum = 1 then Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User").Path = strCookieURL else Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User").Path = "/" end if
