I've got a .html page with VBScript that successfully writes a cookie and
returns the values when the .html page is viewed via IE. However, when the
..html page is hosted within Outlook as a folder home page, the code executes
but without writing the cookie. (I've a got a msgbox in the code that
confirms that the code has executed)

Any ideas?

Probably security settings when the Web page is shown in Outlook since
Outlook folder home pages are shown under restricted security.

You can set the security to a lower setting but that is very risky and any
other application could then corrupt your Outlook or Windows. See
www.slipstick.com for methods to change Internet security for Outlook for
your version.

What do you think about just using the FileSystemObject to just write the
information to a .txt file and then retreive it? The point behind the cookie
is to give my users some control over the content displayed.

Using FSO would work unless the user is running a script stopper program,
like those in certain A-V or software firewalls. Those often block using New
or CreateObject so they would block creation of an FSO object.

If whatever language you're using has intrinsic file operations you might be
better of using those instead of a scripting solution to write out a text
file. An alternate would be storing your "cookie" information in the
registry.

Do you have a URL? I looked, but wasn't able to find anything. I'm assuming
also that the inablity of iframe to display items in a folder in the file
system is related to the same issue? When src in a iframe is set to
C:\Documents and Settings\holled\My Documents, the iframe will only display
the contents if it is NOT hosted in Outlook. When its hosted in Outlook, the
contents are displayed in a new window.

IFrames are out. Take a look at the 2 articles starting at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338201.aspx for information about
rendering capabilities in Outlook 2007 for HTML.

For Outlook Web page security see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=196799
