Hi all,
I have been looking and playing around with this code trying to figure out why I get this error.
Here is the code that is causing the problem:
'Set the destination URL
''********************************************************** ************** DestURL = rs("DestURL") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("GPAUsername") = rs("GPAUsername")
Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("FirstName") = rs("FirstName") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("LastName") = rs("LastName") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("Email") = rs("Email") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("Account1") = rs("Account1") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("Account2") = rs("Account2") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("Account3") = rs("Account3") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("UserGood") = "Yes" Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("Admin") = rs("Admin") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("Location") = rs("Location") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("Valid") = rs("Valid") Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("Suspended") = rs("Suspended") Response.Cookies(strCookieName).Domain = " http://www.gpagallery.com - www.gpagallery.com " Response.Cookies(strCookieName).Expires = strExpireDate Session("UserMessages") = rs("UserMessages") rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing conn.Close Set conn = Nothing Response.Redirect DestURL
Else
'Set the destination URL ''********************************************************** ************** DestURL = rs("DestURL") Session("GPAUsername") = rs("GPAUsername")
Session("FirstName") = rs("FirstName") Session("LastName") = rs("LastName") Session("Email") = rs("Email") Session("Account1") = rs("Account1") Session("Account2") = rs("Account2") Session("Account3") = rs("Account3") Session("UserGood") = "Yes" Session("Admin") = rs("Admin") Session("Location") = rs("Location") Session("UserMessages") = rs("UserMessages") Session("Valid") = rs("Valid") Session("AutoLoginReminder") = "Yes" Session("Suspended") = rs("Suspended") rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing conn.Close Set conn = Nothing Response.Redirect DestURL
The code works fine when you use the session variables but when you use the cookies I get this error
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: '[object]' /login_checkuser.asp, line 163 line 163 is Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("Account1") = rs("Account1")
The Account1 field is setup just like the first name field.(a text field) I'm using an access 2000 database running on a win 2000 server.
This error happens when I leave this field blank. When I populate it I get the error on the Account2 line. I tried leaving another field blank like location or first name and I have no problems. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. |

Cookies tend to be sensitive to null values. More than likely the Account fields in your db default to null when empty. Try something like
which has the effect of concatenating an empty string with the db field.
Another way to do it is
A null string is not the same as an empty string. A string has hidden end-of-string characters that cookies like. Some browsers and some server settings regard a null in a cookie as a cookie block.
EDIT: To add color highlight ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |

Thanks dpyers
I guess I didn't realize that about cookies. I'll give this a try. I'm sure this is what the problem is. Thanks again.
