well, the easiest way to use cookies and sesions variables, is to go to the data sources window, click the plus, and choose either a session or cookie value.

once you do that, you will have it available to your server behaviors and whatnot. As far as using them, if there's anything you want to store from page to page, just do something like this:<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>Session("email" = Request("email"</font id=code></pre id=code>As you can see from that code, it's taking the value of a form post (email) and putting it into a session. now you can use this code to access that value from another page<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;%=Session("email"%&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code>It goes pretty much the same with cookies.

Just go through tutorial and ´creating new sessions wouldn't be any problem anymore.
