Create a page that sets the cookie and pass the value to the page in the
WinInet call.

I've never used WinInet so I can't provide details.

HTH,

Anyone have ideas?

Can't you use a querystring to pass the value to be set to the called page?

Well I'm not sure .. The called page is looking for the value of a
Session variable that is set by the calling page. The Client app is
NOT a browser, but a VB application using WinInet functions. ASP
Sessions are merely session cookies. Since my app is not a browser,
I'm pretty sure that I need to set this session cookie manually on the
called page. However, it seems I'm getting something wrong. Perhaps
just syntactically, but still when the called page is requested, it
doesn't have the Session set.

Oh. I have to bow out of this. I have no expertise here. Hopefully someone
els will step in here and bail me out.
