Hi there,



I'm pretty sure this isn't possible with ASP alone but would appreciate 

any feedback.  I'm trying to write a script that will collect users' 

preferences for, say, a range of products.  Depending on what the users  

have selected, the script will query a database to retrieve those products 

which match the users' criteria and then the script will *automatically* 

send these details via email, without my intervention.  I know, it's a lot 

to expect from ASP alone :-)



Am I looking at a VB component to do this?



Thanks for any pointers.



Jake

That's easy - can be done with stock standard ASP, plus a few components (eg

you'll need ADO to get to the database, plus you'll need an email component

like Microsoft's CDONTS or a 3rd party like JMail www.dimac.net)



Cheers

Ken
