Do anyone know how to send a confirmation email from an asp webpage? Or do you know the code for getting the email address that was given and send a email back to that person? The reason is I have a guestbook on my website that that send the information to my database and i wanted to know how to get that email address that the user entered and send them a email thanking them for there comments. If anyone have a small clue on how this is done can i please get a pointer.

Thank You :)

If you wanna email with asp, try the following:

Set yourEmail=Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

With yourEmail
   .Subject=theSubject
   .From= "yourEmailAddress@yourDomain"
   .To = "yourGuestBookReader@theirDomain"
   .TextBody= "thank you. .blah blah blah ... "
   .Send
End With

set yourMail=nothing

I personally email as soon as the database insert is finished. So, there's no need to get the email from database.

Thank You:)
But do this send it to the person sending the e-mail or do it send an auto email

Sorry. I don't understand

Anyway this block of code can invoke the email procedure.
Or what exactly do you wanna do?

I just want to capture the e-mail address and send a thank you expression.

I think the code may help
Thanks alot

Yes, g2000 gave you the code for that.

I don't know if this is what you mean but capture the email address with using a form and on the post page:

[form page]
<form name="guest" action="guest_process.asp" method="post">
Email Address: <input type="text" name="ReaderEmailAddress"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

[post page]
<%
    varReaderEmailAddress = Request("ReaderEmailAddress")

    Set yourEmail=Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

   yourEmail.Subject=theSubject
   yourEmail.From= "yourEmailAddress@yourDomain"
   yourEmail.To = varReaderEmailAddress
   yourEmail.TextBody= "thank you. .blah blah blah blig blig blam bodzoi... "
   yourEmail.Send
   set yourMail=nothing
   Response.Write "Thank you email sent to: " & varReaderEmailAddress
%>

This code works but unfortunately it doesn't work at my house since my ISP doesn't allow email being sent from other domains through their mail server.

Well, Thank You! :)
I hope this works.
