Setting a cookie with Inline

Hi, is there a way to set this session cookie with an inline action:

[FMP-SETCOOKIE: userid={FMP-Field:user_number}]

I need to do it in another way because have a form that's delivered by FileMaker but is posted to another server entirely!

thanks, jeff

I was never happy with FM cookies. Maybe you can use JavaScript to set cookie.

Hi Anatoli,

I think you're right that JavaScript is a better solution, but this cookie only lasts for the session and that has always worked for me. I found I can do it with:

[FMP-InlineAction:-DB=mydatabase,-lay=web,-View][FMP-SETCOOKIE: userid={FMP-Field:user_number}][/FMP-InlineAction]

regards, jeff
