OK guys... I think I have my Cookie kind of figured out now... It seems ASP does not actually store the cookie as complex variables but instead it's more of a comma delimited format using "&" as the delimiter.
Anyway now that I figure out that problem I have another... I am storing the values in the cookie like this: ----------------- <cfset Cookie_Value = "NeedUpdate=0&Recognition=Support&EntityID=0000000009&AgentName=Neal+Bailey& Region=XXXX&Rank=80&AgentNumber=%40%4009+"> <cfcookie name="Rsagent2" value="#Cookie_Value#"> ------------------ But when I look at the cookie value it looks like this: ------------------ NeedUpdate%3D0%26Recognition%3DSupport%26EntityID%3D0000000009%26AgentName%3 DNeal%2BBailey%26Region%3DXXXX%26Rank%3D80%26AgentNumber%3D%2540%254009%2B ------------------ For some reason its converting the =,&,+ and % characters to another format. Any idea how I can fix this? Man what a mess... Thanks again..

Neal: ASP supports something it calls a "Cookie Dictionaries." This is, essentially an associative array (or structure) of values all referenced by the same variable name. So, just like with ColdFusion structures you can do something like: myStructure.myKey in ASP, you can do something like: Response.Cookies("myStructure")("myKey") In order to support this, ASP creates a cookie named "myStructure" (or whatever you specify as the name) and sets the cookie value to something like: key1=value1&key2=value2 So, to duplicate your ASP code in ColdFusion, you'll need code like the following: <CFSET Value = ""> <CFSET Value = Value & "AgentNumber=#AgentNumber#"> <CFSET Value = Value & "&AgentName=#AgentFirst# #AgentLast#"> <CFSET Value = Value & "&Rank=#CurrentRank#"> <CFSET Value = Value & "&EntityID=#EntityID#"> <CFCOOKIE NAME="RSHold" VALUE="#Value#" PATH="/" EXPIRES="Never"> Note that when you retrieve this Cookie via CF, you'll have to parse the string and break it up into its original pieces. You could use code like the following: <CFSET RSHold = StructNew()> <CFLOOP LIST="#COOKIE.RSHold#" DELIMITERS="&" INDEX="Ele"> <CFSET Key = ListGetAt(Ele, 1, "=")> <CFSET Value = ListGetAt(Ele, 2, "=")> <CFSET RSHold[Key] = Value> </CFLOOP> And then access each piece via code like: RSHold["AgentNumber"] Note, none of this code is tested so there might be some minor issues. But the logic should be pretty sound.
