Local CDONTS does not work 2

[Madere]

Hi.

I have a question about CDONTS.
I have Windows XP, XP SP1 and IIS 5.1 installed.
From a page I want to send an email after a form has been completed. When the page is on my providers server, it works fine.
But I want to test the page from my local machine.
Does anyone have an idea why CDONTS does not work?
The error is:
Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
J:\INETPUB\

http://WWWROOT\DEREUVER\..\General\SendMail.inc,

line 56

The code on line 56 is:
Set ObjMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot

So it has something to do with the creation of the CDONTS object.
Do I have to install something more for the use of CDONTS?

Regards,
Maderere.

Do you have the SMTP service running on your machine?

I'm not sure what the error is but I can give you a few trouble shooting tips on this.

1.) Make sure the cdonts.dll is installed. You can check by doing a search on your computer.

2.) Make sure SMTP is running on the server.

3.) Is your code correct? Below is a code what it shoud look like in ASP.

Set objNewMail = server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot
With objNewMail
.From = "someone@somedomain.com"
.To = "GOINGTOsomeone@somedomain.com"
.CC = "CARBONCOPYsomeone@somedomain.com"
.Subject = "This will appear in the subject line"
.Importance = "Priority level of low,medium,high"
.Body = "The mail message is inside here"
.Send
Set objNewMail = Nothing

I hope that helped.

Madhouse,

as I mentioned in my question: the same page on my providers server works fine ==> the script is OK.
In a reply I mentioned that SMTP is running.

New:
cdonts.dll is in my intepub\

http://wwwroot

directory.

cdonts is not installed by default with Windows XP, the fact that you have it on your machine at all makes me think you moved it there from an older machine, which would mean it is not entirely compatible. CDONTS was only included on Windows 2000 to make Windows NT scripts continue to work while we, the developing community, slowly stop using it and moved to CDOSYS.
CDOSYS is included with Windows XP, and in fact has greater functionality than CDONTS. I have also seen some problems recently with attempting to send mail through certain mail servers when using CDONTS, a problem that disappears when I move to CDOSYS.

Tarwn,

thanks.
I already found this change on a webpage.
Then the question is:
is there a way to find out which OS is installed so I can use the correct object?
Local: XP
Provider: NT

You could look at the Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_SOFTWARE&quot value, that will tell you which version of IIS is installed.

Also, if you mean NT as in NT4, you will probably be stuck with CDONTS, I don't know if they made a version of CDOSYS that works on it. Windows 2000 has both CDONTS and CDOSYS. XP, as I mentione above, only has CDOSYS.
