I have a page that calls information from a form and inserts the info into an email message. I have used CDONTS several times in the past but I can not get it to carbon copy this time whether I use a called variable for the email address or hard code it as you will see below.

here is the code with debug statements intact.:(

any ideas?





    action = request("action")
    'cusID = request("cusID") coming from firstcontact.asp

    spID = request.cookies("spID")
    carboncopy2=request("carboncopy")
            response.write "Debug carbon copy is " & carboncopy2 &""

    sql = "select sname1,sname2,saleemail from salepeople where spID=" & spID
    response.write "Debug SQL is " & sql &""
    set sale = conn.execute(sql)

    salesmanemail = sale("saleemail")
    response.write "Debug salesmanemail is " &salesmanemail &""

    salesmanname = sale("sname1") & " " & sale("sname2")
    response.write "Debug Salesmanname is " & salesmanname & ""

    sql = "select fname,lname,email from customers where cusID=" & cusID
    response.write "Debug SQL is " & sql &""
    set cust = conn.execute(sql)
    if not len(cust("email")) > 4 then
        customeremail = trim(request.form("customeremail"))


    else
        customeremail = cust("email")
    end if
        response.write "Debug customeremail is " & customeremail &""

    customername = cust("fname") & " " & cust("lname")
        response.write "Debug customername is " & customername &""


    cc1 = carboncopy2
        'if cc1 = "" then cc1 = " "
        response.write "This is the carbon copy field...Debug ccl is: " & carboncopy2 &""


    subject = replace(request("subject"),"'","''")
        if len(subject) < 2 then subject = "No Subject"
        response.write "Debug subject is " & subject &""

    textbody = request("textbody2")
        response.write "Debug Text Body is " & textbody &""

    ctime = dateadd("h",2,time())
        response.write "Debug ctime is " &ctime&""


    sql = "insert into actiondetail (actdettime,actdetdate,to_name,from_name,spID,cusI D,actID,subject,notes)values"
    sql = sql & "(#"&ctime&"#,#"&date()&"#,'"&customername&"','"&s alesmanname&"',"&spID&","&cusID&",6,'"&subject&"', '"&textbody&"')"
    response.write "Debug SQL is " & sql
    set rs = conn.execute(sql)



    Set myMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
    myMail.From = salesmanemail
    myMail.To = customeremail

        myMail.Cc = "[email protected]"


    myMail.Subject = subject



    myMail.BodyFormat = 1
    myMail.MailFormat = 1
    myMail.Body = textbody
    myMail.Send
    set myMail = nothing

I don't see a problem here. The most common mistake is an improperly formatted address. However, might I suggest that you consider moving up to CDO instead of CDONTS. Windows 2003/IIS6 and beyond, natively, does not support CDONTS anymore. It was a bastardized copy of CDO for WinNT and was kept in 2k for backward compatibility.

You can download a customizable sample here. It uses the pickup folder method, which works on most IIS servers and is the simplest.

If you wish to use a remote SMTP server check here:

I found out that CDONTS will not carbon copy to the same address for instances.

To: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]

Niether will CDO from my own experiments...Which I did switch to by the way...

Also my mail server was killing the message because the from address was an address that did not exist

example: [email protected]

Thanks for your help though.
