Automated Emails

[jma]

I am new at this kind of thing...obviously.... I want to set up a system to send an email to a group of people automatically twice a week...can someone point me in a direction? I have access, ultradev, etc...Thanks!

you can use CDONTS to do this.
below is a simple example of sending a single e-mail. however sending bulk e-mails works with the same principle.

you can obviously link this in with a form so your .subject and .body lines could be a variable (rather than hard coded string as below)

to send this to everyone in your database just stick a loop around it and substitute the .to line with a recordset holding e-mail addys

set newMailObj = createObject("cdonts.newMail&quot
newMailObj.from = "you@youraddress.com"
newMailObj.to = "your@reciever.com"
newMail.Obj.subject = "Your Subject"
newMail.Obj.body = "Your Body"
newMailObj.send
set newMailObj = nothing

hope this is of some help
