Using CDONTS to send mail - and failing!

[Suzypud]

Hi,

I'm trying to add an email alert to an asp script which enters form data into a database. Basically I have had a request that an email be sent out everytime someone fills in the form. I've tried various things that haven't worked and the latest effort is using CDONTS. It doesn't create an error message, but no email has arrived!! Can anyone either tell me what's wrong with my code, or suggest why it wouldn't work?

Thanks

Suzy

Code:

'Lets see if we can send an email to say form has been filled in ...

Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot
Mail.to="suzy.shipman@bbsrc.ac.uk"
Mail.from=request.form("email&quot
Mail.Subject="A new GM Worker has been added"
Mail.Body="Testing email works"
Mail.Send
Set Mail=nothing

Hi Suzy,

I use CDONTS in one of the sites I work with and have noticed the following difference between your code and mine:

Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

whereas I use:

Set objMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

Hope this helps

i believe it's
Set objMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot
for vb script files and
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot
for ASP pages.
Have you tried hard coding an email address?
Do you have control of the server you're testing it on?
Have you tried using (from memory) CDO.Configuration and CDO.Message objects?
