How do you seperate the UID in the cookie? I know this is a dumb question, but all I get is TriGgeRLoCkD297Z572B74C1G4
does anyone know how to seperate the username from the hashed password?

THE CODE:
<%
Dim strLoggedInUserCode  'Holds the user code of the user
' retrive the data and set it to a variable
strLoggedInUserCode = Request.Cookies("Forum") ("UID")

' post it
Response.Write (strLoggedInUserCode)
%>

This is a GUID and is not being ~stripped~ it is used to see what account is associated with this GUID in the DB.

so if I use this to call the database, the database will return the correct username, right?

Well maybe I did not explain good. You use the value from the cookie and search the database for the record that matches. As there always will be only one the record returned will contain the username you need

I could just copy the code from the common.asp file, the code that it uses to call the database, right?

I am just reading the values, I dont need to set them at all. I just want to read them from the main page...
