Hi I noticed the book doesn't show how to send forms data to an email address. Would it be possible to explain how to send a very simple form (email, comments) using aspMail components. I went to their website, but it only explains how to send email from a page. Your help would be greatly apprecciated. Thanks

Hi there,

Well, using the docs on the AspEmail site in combination with the book, it shouldn't be too difficult. Take the following example from the AspEmail website:

Mail.From = "[email protected]" ' Required
Mail.FromName = "Sales Department" ' Optional
Mail.AddAddress "[email protected]", "John Smith"
Mail.AddCC "[email protected]" ' Name is optional
Mail.Subject = "Sales Receipt"

Instead of using these hard coded values, just retrieve them from the form:

Mail.Subject = Request.Form("txtSubject")
Mail.AddAddress Request.Form("txtEmailAddress")

You may need to check these values before you actually send the e-mail to make sure they contain valid information.

Does this help?

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks so much for your help!!
I figured it out. I really thank you for your quick response. I have a question about the book. Chapter 13, page 457. Bullet 7. When I click ok...I'm getting the following error message:

"Server behavior was not apply. Could not find a valid xml file that refers to the current server behavior and the current server model."

I'm using a remote server. They meet all the requirements the book mentions. Any ideas? Thanks again...by the way....phenomenal book!! u guys did a great job!!

Hi there,

Sorry for answering a little late. Didn't see your post earlier.

I am not quite sure what can cause this error; I haven't run into it myself before. The only references to this problem I found were related to extensions. Did you install any extensions for Dreamweaver?

You may also need to check your Configuation files. Dreamweaver stores quite a lot of settings in XML files in both the Program Files folder as in the Documents and Settings folder. Maybe something got deleted or changed.

Typical helpdesk answer: Try reinstalling (backup your config folders, uninstall, remove the configuration folders and then reinstall); hopefully this will fix things.

Cheers,

Imar
