Checking If Cookies Already Exist

[LongFeiFengWu]

I have a page where users are required to sign in. When they sign in, cookies are written to the user's system so I can use the data on other pages. What I'd like to accomplish is to check the user's system for the existence of a specific cookie before they're sent to the login page, so that they don't have to keep logging in on each visit to the page. How would I do something like that? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok, I figured my first question out on my own. Wasn't hard at all. Now, what I need is to set the expiration of a cookie. I write my cookies like this:

response.cookies("ECT")("VZID") = objrec("VZID")

how do i set the expiration for that?

the syntax is nearly identical :

response.cookies("ECT")("VZID").Expires = datetimevalue

example :

response.cookies("ECT")("VZID").Expires = date() + 7 '( expires 1 week )

would i write that in addition to the other line?

so would it be:

response.cookies("ECT")("VZID") = objrec("VZID")
response.cookies("ECT")("VZID").expires = date() + 7
