Hi,

I am building a simple website for my company using ASP codes. I have designed a few forms for clients to fill over the internet and submit. However, as I’m quite new to this web staff – I’m finding it difficult to get the appropriate code to accomplish this task. All I need to know is how they can submit the information collected on the forms.




Thanks and regards,

Francis

DNG,

Many thanks for your link - However, the code simply looks too complicated for me to understand.

Please, an example of the form is pasted below. Where exactly would I used the few relevant bits of your code.

Thanks again.

Here is an example of an asp page that uses CDONTS to send an email. The page reads the submitted form fields to get the info for the mail TO, FROM, CC, Subject and Body, then sends it to CDONTS to email.
CDOSYS is a newer component replacing CDONTS and works very similarly. You have to find out if you have an email component on your server first. This just gives you an example of how it is done.

Code: 
<%
  mailFrom=request.form("MailFrom")
  mailTo = request.form("MailTo")
  mailSubject = request.form("MailSubject")
  mailbody = request.form("strOut")
  mailCC = request.form("MailToCC")
 
  Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
  objMail.BodyFormat = 0 ' If you want to send as plan text remove this line, otherwise it sends as HTML.
  objMail.MailFormat = 0 ' If you want to send as plan text remove this line, otherwise it sends as HTML.
  objMail.From =  mailFrom
  objMail.To = mailTo
  objMail.CC = mailCC
  objMail.Subject = mailSubject
  objMail.Body = mailbody
  objMail.Send 
  Set objMail = Nothing
%>

The above code relies on you providing those fields.
The body of the message will be in one long string and you can format it with HTML tags.
For now I suggest you set it to just send text and test emailing, then get fancy once you have it working.


Paranoid? ME?? WHO WANTS TO KNOW????
