E-mailing form information

[Bkster]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a product of procedure of e-mailing information from a web page. I am working on a 2000 server and want information that is being sent to a database also sent to me. I have tried a couple of DWUD extension but have not got them to work. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Which do you recommend. My programming skills are limited so which one is the most user friendly. And is there a book or tutorial somewhere that could help with this process. Thanks for the fast response.

as far as putting it on an asp page thats easy.

Just find out from your webhost which you have.

If you run the server - do you know of any that you installed? "Insert witty remark here"

It is not a web hosted server. It is one of our companies. I have full access to it. Do any of the above mentioned componets install with IIS 5? Or are they all add ons?

 

[schase]

all add ins.

From what I have found out - and I'm sure some of these other folks can correct me.

JMAIL is fantastic - but around 300 bucks
ASPMail is great - around 50 bucks per processor (I have a dual processor server so it was 100 bucks)
ASPEmail is not bad I guess - Some say Free some say 50 bucks.
CDONTS - no idea.

Thanks that should get me started.

For my server, I use ASPmail.

Yeah it was a hundred bucks, but it worked with everything I had - since I wrote everything for aspmail.

I would recommend using CDONTS, especially as you are using IIS 5. It should already be installed and ready - look for cdonts.dll in the winnt\system32 directory. It does require the ability to send an email normally form the server, but if this is OK it is a breeze - and free Derren

I downloaded the extension from Macromedia called PES E-mail Form but I can't find it on Macromedia's exchange now for download. I will e-mail it to you if you like, it's 14K in size (the downloaded file before installing the extension). It works great, the easiest one yet I've downloaded for UD, but must have CDO on server and is VBScript only.

Here's its description in the extension manager:

>>>>>>> A Member of the "Peacock Extension Suite". This requires IIS 4.0 or later with e-mail capabilities. Use this server-behavior to E-mail a form using "CDONTS.NewMail". Please note if using E-Mail Form in conjunction with insert,delete &amp update record behaviors use the E-mail Form's Redirect URL field in replace of the record behavoirs "Go to" field (the "Go to" field must be left blank or no e-mail will be sent). This extension is ASP VB Script only.

Access from the 'PES' >> 'E-Mail Form' entry in the Server Behaviors Menu. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Good Luck, Ladyborg
