Send email script in html?

FK122 · May 10, 2005

Hi there,

I've got a script to send an email out to whoever, and it works fine if I just run the script. However, I want to run the script from a button inside an html page. When I click on the "send email button", I get a "permission denied" error for the objEmailConfig.Fields property. Here's my script:

Code:

Function fGenerateEmail()

    Dim objEmailConfig
    Dim objEmail
    
    Dim sBody
    Dim sTitle
    Dim sFrom
    Dim sTo

    Set objEmailConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

    '  "Permission denied" error on the next line.
    objEmailConfig.Fields.Item("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing")[/URL] = 2
    objEmailConfig.Fields.Item("[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver")[/URL] = "smtp_server"
    objEmailConfig.Fields.Update
    
    Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    objEmail.Configuration = objEmailConfig
    objEmail.From = "me@mydomain.com"
    objEmail.To = "my@buddy.com"
    objEmail.Subject = "subject"
    objEmail.TextBody = "body"
    objEmail.Send

End Function

I think it might have something to do with the security settings of internet explorer, but that's not something I can change. The idea behind this is that this script will be run on different machines on my company's intranet, so there are company-wide security restrictions on IE. Is this the problem? Or am I missing something? Any way around this?

Thanks,
FK

Have you tried an HTA ?

I didn't even know what an HTA was, to tell you the truth, but I figured it out and got that working. However, I'd much prefer to have it in a standard internet explorer window, if it's at all possible; *is* it possible?

Thanks again,

Try this:

Code:

<body>
<script language="VBScript">
Sub btn_OnClick
'  **Your Code Here**
End Sub
</script>
<Input Type = "Button" Name = "btn" VALUE = "EMails">
</body>

Another option would be to move the email code to a second web page so it would execute right away and have your button send the user to that page. A Response.Redirect ould then send them back to wherever you wanted or display a message that the mail was sent.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark
