greetings...
i'm new to the world of ASP and for the most part, i got everything working correctly on my website form... my issue is that i want to send a confirmation email to the person who filled out the form on the website i'm designing, but i can't get it to format correctly... i would like to send the email in HTML format or send a nicely designed pdf attachment, but i consistently get an 'unterminated line' error with any of the html code i have in the body... i've searched and found what i thought to be the answers for what i need to put in the code - but only got errors... i thought a good solution would be to send a pdf attachment of what i need sent to circumvent those who don't accept html, but i get errors again...

can anyone please point me in the right direction to some tutorials? i found a few, but nothing seems to work like i need it to... hopefully this all makes sense... maybe by seeing the code below, someone may suggest a completely different approach? if so, below is the code i'm using now (which successfully sends a small plain text message at the moment):

augh - sorry for the quick button pushing - i certainly didn't mean to reply to myself - jeesh...

funny how moments after posting in a forum, one quickly finds the answer... my problem was that i was putting returns within the asp string for the body of the message rather than running the html tags together as one string... hope this makes sense... everything is good now...

now onto more complicated schtuff - i have just begun!
