all the information that they had key in such as their name, age, gender, tel no. and etc, will be sent to my database as well as to my email or perhaps their email too!

can sombody teach me in step by step instruction in this

which one to use: (jmail @ cdonts)???

I'd use something other than CDONTS if it's installed on your server. CDONTS works fine and all, but it's not as simple to use at the other ones.

Once you figure out which email component you're going to use I'd look up the website for it. They usually have lots of code sample for doing things. With a copy and paste and a little tweaking you should be fine.

I disagree, CDONTS is very easy in my opinion, CDOSYS is even better. Theres plently of examples out there.

Which part are you stuck with? database or email?

Hai guys...!
well, actually I already and successfully coded my page with CDONTS code that sends email from the form in my web site to my email and database!
I dont have any problem with them now, but i am looking foward to share your ideas since one of you guys said that there's an easy way other than CDONTS!

Now...my problem is,
I already created a TESTING page that uses the CDONTS code in my page, and i had made the connection to the database successfully as well...
but when I uploaded them in the internet (i use BRINKSTER), it didnt work!
Can you suggest the solution to my problem?
I am not sure if the web server/hosting support CDONTS?

any way, thanx for your reply!

hai smokies,
do you know where i can upload my page (that contain CDONTS)
to the web server that support them?

You need to be more specific when you say "it didnt work".

Look on the Brinkster support/FAQ pages to find out which email components they support.

My main form will contain:
(ask the user to input)

[variable]

Have you actually checked that Brinkster supports CDONTS???????????

Code:

Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objMail.Subject = "subject here"
objMail.Body = "message body"
objMail.From = "your name<your email>"
objMail.To = "recipient email"
objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing

Hi Monie....

Nobody learns if I do this for you! (Even if I did have the time)

Have a go yourself, and we'll help you if you get stuck!

Webforumz.com is about getting help, so you learn and further your skills... if everyone does things for you, you learn nothing.

Here is a code example for persits ASPEmail:-

Code:

Dim objMail
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
objMail.From = "youremail"
objMail.FromName = "User"
objMail.Host = "yourmail.server"
objMail.AddAddress "emailaddress", "Username"
objMail.Subject = "ASPEmail Test"
objMail.Body = "The body."
objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing

Here is a JMail example:-

Code:

Dim objMail
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("JMail.Message")
objMail.From = "youremail"
objMail.FromName = "User"
objMail.AddRecipient "emailaddress", "Username"
objMail.Subject = "ASPEmail Test"
objMail.Body = "The body."
objMail.Send("yourmail.server")
Set objMail = Nothing

Hope this helps!
