- Can you access those pages without a cookie. You can test this by deleting
all cookies in ie and typing the url to a cookie protected page.
- I tested your code (Response.Cookies("tick").Expires = DateAdd("d", -5,
Now())) and it realy does delete the cookie.
You can check this for yourself with this tool :
http://www.blunck.info/iehttpheaders.html
This tool will ultimatly diagonse the problem but you have to understand
a little about the http protocol. If some caching is involved this tool will
also show you this.
If it doesn't work out send my some code and I'll find the error.
Let me know if you have any more questions..
