cdo mail blank to field

[lmayer3]

Morning,

Is there a way to tell the script if there is no value stop processing otherwise go ahead and use the form value?

This is what I have:

If SENDEMAIL Then
Set MailObject = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
MailObject.From = FROMEMAILADDRESS
if MailObject.To = "" then ??
else MailObject.To = Request("email") end if
'other code goes here

Thanks for any help.

why dont you check this at the form level. Make the email field a required field.

I'd love to but it's for help desk app and the techs don't want to have to put an email in. We don;t have self service yet.

Try this:

If SENDEMAIL Then
Set MailObject = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
MailObject.From = FROMEMAILADDRESS
if MailObject.To <> "" then
MailObject.To = Request("email")
end if
'other code goes here

We wont worry about if the To address is empty. the code will only process if the To address is not empty.

Is there I can get rid of the error message then:

CDO.Message.1 error '8004020c'

At least one recipient is required, but none were found.

then may be you could put a dummy email...

if MailObject.To <> "" then
MailObject.To = Request("email")
else

MailObject.To = "dummy@yourdomain.com"

end if

I will give that a shot thanks for all your help.

You might just check to see if there is any value of Request("email") before you even create the mail object.

If (Len(Request("email")) = 0) Then 
  Response.Write "You Fool!  <br> An email address is <b>required</b>!"
  Response.End  'halt execution of script
End If
