Hello,

I love this forum's new look by the way!

The simple way to send a form to email is using

action="mailto:joe@whatever.com" in the form property

but to use ASP for it you'll probably want need to use CDOSYS or some 3rd party mail component like ASPemail. You can find plenty of code and example sof either of those on the web.

We in fact have an article on it in the Articles: ASP forum...

Catalyst,

Thank you very much. I am supposed to post the input elements to an ASP script and will check out your article and go from there. I have never used ASP but need to learn and real quick.
