I have been pounding my brain for about a week trying to figure something out. I have a site where users can create a username and password when they register. I need for this username and password (and some general text thanking them for registering) to be emailed to them once they submit it. It also needs to be written to a database so they can get back in later (obviously, or there is no reason for the username and password, right?). I have the database part down just fine, just a simple one table Access DB. But how/where do I make sure the contents of the form they filled out will be mailed to them? I also need people to be able to input their email address and have their password mailed to them. I have access to ASPMail, Dundas Mail and ABMailer only to get this working. I've been to every tutorial site I can find, and something in my brain just isn't clicking. Can anyone PLEASE help me???Edited by - wahoojeff on 12 Apr 2002 02:28:18

Does your server support CDONTS?

Unfortunately, no it doesn't. I was playing with ASPMail last night, and was able to get the form working so that it would send the contents of the submitted form to the person that just registered. However, there is some sort of conflict with that code and Macromedia's Insert behavior, because once I use that behavior, it will insert the new record but will not mail the contents of the form. Would it help if I posted the code here?

I have exactly the same situation. Hav got aspmail to work and insert record to work with access but not at the same time. Have you managed to solve it?

hi
dont know if this will help but i have been using JMail and you have to put the code that sends the mail on its own page and then on the insert behaviour where it says AFTER INSERT REDIRECT or whatever it says redirect to the mail page, then on the mail page after it sends the mail have it redirect to wherever you want it to go.
hope that makes sense
