Handling files with & in name

[David C]

I have an asp.net VB application that gets a filename and tries to display
it on a web page. It seems to be truncating the name when the name contains
"&" in it. Below is what I am using to grab the name. How can I get around
that? Thanks.

If Not Request.Cookies("path") Is Nothing Then
strPath = Server.HtmlEncode(Request.Cookies("path").Value)
strPath = Request.Cookies("path").Value
End If

You should use HtmlEncode when placing the value IN the cookie.
You should use HtmlDecode when retrieving the value from the cookie.
