Hi folks,First of all, I am a total newbie in web programming and my knowledge on ASP is limited to what taught in w3schools....=).I am currently trying to use ASP to help me send user input to my email.However, I am getting the following error message when I execute the ASP code below:Error message:CDO.Message.1 error '80040220'The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid./yoursite/logic.asp, line 7 ASP code:<%Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"myMail.From="mymail@mydomain.com"myMail.To="someone@somedomain.com"myMail.TextBody="This is a message."myMail.Sendset myMail=nothing%>It seems that the error message happens when executing myMail.Send command.Please kindly advise on how to get around this problem. FYI, I am using Windows Vista and IIS7 for my local server.

I use this function to send mail. This is written in Javascript, so you would have to rewrite it if your code is VB, but it should give you an idea:

function send_email_func (to, from, subject, body, replyto){  mailobj = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message");  mailobj.From = from;  mailobj.To = to;  mailobj.Subject = subject;  mailobj.TextBody = body;  mailobj.ReplyTo = replyto;  mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 1;  mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "localhost";  mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25;  mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Update();  mailobj.Send();  delete mailobj;}

There are references online that list the different configuration fields for CDO.Message and what they're used for (such as the sendusing field).

Hi!! Thanks very much for the advice.Unfortunately I am still encountering an error even when I use the method you suggested. My code is as below:<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function send_email_func () { mailobj = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message"); mailobj.From = "abc@hotmail.com"; mailobj.To = "def@gmail.com"; mailobj.Subject = "Test"; mailobj.TextBody = "Hi!!"; mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 1; mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "localhost"; mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25; mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Update(); mailobj.Send(); delete mailobj; } </script> </head> <body> <form> <input type="button", value="Send", onclick="send_email_func()"/> </form> </body></html>From the debugger tool, I was told that the error is "Server is not defined" and happens on line 6: mailobj = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message");Any idea on what could be the problem here? Thanks!! =)

You're trying to run this as regular Javascript, this is still ASP code and needs to go inside ASP tags. You can just use Javascript to write ASP instead of VB.

<%@LANGUAGE="Javascript"%><%send_email_func('to@test.com', 'from@test.com', 'subject', 'the email text', 'replyto@test.com');function send_email_func (to, from, subject, body, replyto){  mailobj = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message");  mailobj.From = from;  mailobj.To = to;  mailobj.Subject = subject;  mailobj.TextBody = body;  mailobj.ReplyTo = replyto;  mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 1;  mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver") = "localhost";  mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport") = 25;  mailobj.Configuration.Fields.Update();  mailobj.Send();  delete mailobj;}%>

Each ASP page can only use a single language, so if your pages are using VB instead of Javascript you'll need to convert one of them.
