Hello all,

Ok, i think i am losing it... Here's my problem;

I wanna compare a value (user id so it's a number) with a value out of the database (also the user id) using ASP/VB and ACCESS on WINXP

my code is:
<% if request.Cookies("FreesUID" = (rsTopics.Fields.Item("USER_ID".Value) then response.Write("yes"%>

Look's pretty normal i should say... but, i don;t get any "yes" in my screen... <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

When i just use &lt;% = request.Cookies("FreesUID" %&gt; and &lt;% = (rsTopics.Fields.Item("USER_ID".Value) %&gt; then they both display the same number...

Do i need a Ctrs or Len or something like that to make it work??

TIA
Matthijs

Try formatting it as a proper if else end if statement. Your syntax looks alright though. Try:

&lt;%
dim usercookie
usercookie = Request.Cookies("FreesUID"
dim useridval
useridval = rsTopics.Fields.Item("USER_ID".Value
If usercookie &lt;&gt; useridval Then
Response.Write("NO"
Else
Response.Write("Yes"
End if
%&gt;

I don't know why but Cstr worked...

thnx for help
