new to asp, form mail problem

[aaronjonmartin]

Ok so im new to all this, im creating a website which has a webform which a user would fill out to request more information about the company. What i want to happen is the user to complete the form and when submitted all the contents of the form are emailed to my email address. Ok so because im new to this i tried to get some examples working so i could learn that way, im trying them with IIS on Windows XP pro. I tried this one

and followed the instructions exactly however it doesnt work and i keep getting error messages. This has happened with all the examples i have tried, what am i doing wrong? Do i need to do something to get the ASP scripts to work with IIS? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

What are the error messages you are getting? Are the messages same for all the pages you execute? ASP pages will run fine as long as IIS is installed and running. Let me know about the error messages so that i can think of a solution.

JumpStarter, thanks for your post. My problem was resolved quite simply! I was trying to use cdonts to send the email when i had not registered the cdonts.dll. I thought cdonts came registered with iis but i was wrong that is cdosys. Thanks again for your interest.

Be aware that cdonts is deprecated use CDO.Message instead

have a look here for syntax
