Newbie: changing the value to display different text 2

[danielh68]

Hi

I'm working on an asp email form and it processes just fine. However, now I would like to change the values that I have for my fields to display something nices in the email.

For instance:

bodytxt = bodytxt & "Are you new to us?: " & new_yes & new_no & vbcrlf

I would like to have new_yes display in the received email as simply "Yes"...the same goes for new_no.

I experimented with no luck. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

what if before processing the email you set two variables

1. new_yes = "yes"
2. new_no = "no"

then use the new values

Hi Decojute,

Well, above the:
Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender&quot

I have this:
new_yes= Request.Form("new_yes&quot
new_no= Request.Form("new_no&quot
tl= Request.Form("tl&quot
ltl= Request.Form("ltl&quot

At first,I thought I could change it to something like:
------------------------------
new_yes= Request.Form("Yes&quot
------------------------------

With that changed, this statement:
----------------------------------
bodytxt = bodytxt & "Are you new to us?: " & new_yes & new_no & vbcrlf"
-----------------------------------
would grab "Yes" from above.

Is this right?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Decojute,

I just tried exactly what you stated and it works perfectly.

Thanks a million,

Hi,

I'm back. I guess it wasn't as perfect as I thought. I only did one sample yesterday and had to stop. Anyhow, for some reason, I can't get the data to separate. Here's sample of my code:
---------------------------------------------
else
new_yes= Request.Form("new_yes&quot
new_no= Request.Form("new_no&quot

new_yes= "Yes"
new_no= "No"

Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender&quot
bodytxt = bodytxt & "Are you new to us?: " & new_yes & new_no & vbcrlf
-------------------------------------------------

The result I get from my email displays the following:

Are you new to us?: YesNo

How can I get it to read as two separate entities?

Thanks,
Dan

This should look something like this

this is the page who displays the selections

index.html
<form action=&quot;sendmail.asp&quot; method=post>
...
<select name=&quot;newuser&quot;>
 <option value=&quot;Yes&quot;>Yes 
 <option value=&quot;No&quot;>No
</select>
</form>

In the asp code now just use ths code

Set Mail = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Persits.MailSender&quot;)
bodytxt = bodytxt & &quot;Are you new to us?: &quot; & Request(&quot;newuser&quot;) & vbcrlf

How this works...
If the user selects Yes then Request(&quot;newuser&quot;) should have the &quot;Yes&quot; value there for you will receive the email with Yes as value.
If the user select No then Request(&quot;newuser&quot;) will have &quot;No&quot; value, and so the email.
