How do I assign a local variable to a form hidden field element?
eg
Dim MyVar
MyVar = ( comes from an include file which sets the value of MyVar from a cookie. This local variable and many more are then used as parameters for my recordsets and work OK. This speeds things up since the cookie is only accessed once for multiple recordsets )

However, when I try to assign it to a hidden field -
<input type="hidden" name="HiddenField" value="MyVar">

The value assigned is "MyVar" and not the value previously assigned to MyVar.
What am I missing?

One way to do that is make the entire line part of the code by doing somehting like

Response.Write "<input type='hidden' name='hiddenField' value='"& MyVar &"'>"

or if you just want to elave the html in its own section you can do

<input type="hidden" name="HiddenField" value="<%Response.Write MyVar%>">

at least thats how I set my variables. Hope this helps.
