I dont know exactly if VBS iniatialize your variable kounter to 0 when u declare it,anyhow try inialize it urself to 0 first time.
and if u r trying to access Form elements then use

if Request.QueryString("user")=""

or

Request.Form("user")()=""

Also if you r using same script for login and validation then it would look like!

Code:

<%
if request.querystring("submit")="" then
%>
<html>

html goes here
.
.
.
<%
else

..process counter



end if
%>
