Hi,
I need to display a "Welcome Back )Username)" like on this site if a cookie has been recorded or "Why Not Register" text if it does not.

Any help, the cookie name is "ckLoggedin"

Thanks.

You need to create a recordset that filters your user table by the Cookie. You can use the standard dreamweaver recordset function for this. I will assume your recordset is called rsUser and the username field is called Username.

<%
Dim strCookie, strUsername, strResponse
strCookie = Request.cookies("ckLoggedin"
strUsername = (rsUser.fields.item("Username".value)
%>
<%
If strCookie = "" then
strResponse = "Why not register"
else strResponse = "Welcome Back " & strUsername
End If
%>

Add the next line where you want the text to display

<% Response.write(strResponse) %>

Et Voila!

Right,
so the top code <pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;%
Dim strCookie, strUsername, strResponse
strCookie = Request.cookies("ckLoggedin"
strUsername = (rsUser.fields.item("Username".value)
%&gt;
&lt;%
If strCookie = "" then
strResponse = "Why not register"
else strResponse = "Welcome Back " & strUsername
End If
%&gt;

</font id=code></pre id=code>

goes in the head, is that right.
this is my record set -
<img src="www.con-telegraph.ie/dream.gif" border=0>

Does it look OK?.

The other code goes in the page where I want the username to go.

The initial code can go above the head as long as it is after the recordset (as we are calling information from the recordset) and yes, the response.write goes where you want to display the text.
