I must have done something wrong because it didn't work.

I've changed to trying to do it by assigning the values I was going to put into cookies, into a listbox which I've sized to 1x1 pixels
I would have prefered to set it's visible to false but when I do that then I get an error because the Object isn't found.

>>>I'm trying to store information in such a way that a client side activeX can use the information. I have information in tables. One Table is Activities. It has a field called Alarm_Status. I need the date and time stored in alarm status to be accessible to the client side activeX alarm control.
