Ive got a form which people will fill out on the web with information such as there name, email address etc.

Ive got it to email through to me but any ideas how i can also get it to email a message back to them based on the email address they place in the email field??!??!?!

Thanks!

Find out what type of mail component your hosting provider has installed on their servers. nine times out of ten, it'll be CDONTS or CDOSYS, but if they're like my provider it could be something else like JMail.

Then do a Google search for tutorials on how to use that component. They're pretty easy to use. Let us know if you get stuck.

thanks for that - our servers support CDONTs and ive got it all set up working:

<%

Dim myCDONTSMail
Dim strFrom
Dim strTo
Dim strSubject
Dim strBody

strFrom=Request.Form("ParentEmail")


strTo="me@mydomain.net"

strSubject = "Parental Information"
 
strBody="The following parent information was submitted:" & Chr(13)
strBody = strBody & Chr(13) & "Parent Name: "
strBody= strBody & Request.Form("ParentName") & Chr(13)
strBody = strBody & "Parent E-Mail: "
strBody= strBody & Request.Form("ParentEmail") & Chr(13)
strBody = strBody & "Childs Name: "
strBody= strBody & Request.Form("ChildName") & Chr(13)
strBody = strBody & "Childs Form: "
strBody= strBody & Request.Form("ChildForm") & Chr(13)
strBody = strBody & "Further Comments: "
strBody= strBody & Request.Form("FurtherComments") & Chr(13)

Set myCDONTSMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
myCDONTSMail.Send strFrom,strTo,strSubject,strBody
Set myCDONTSMail = Nothing

%>

ive played around with the code but all i need now is to somehow enable the "StrTo" field so the details are also sent to the email field which is input into the form in the first place

You mean you want to send a copy of the message to whoever filled in the form?You can either sepearate the addresses with semicolons:

strTo="me@mydomain.net;" & Request.Form("ParentEmail")

Alternativly, use the CC Field:

myCDONTSMail.cc = Request.Form("ParentEmail")

thanks very much that worked a treat!
