Attaching file to an e-mail using CDONTS

Jeremy,

Check out the example from asp101 http://www.asp101.com/samples/viewasp.asp?file=email%2Easp . It's pretty straight forward, as long as your host supports CDONTS or your IIS Server is running SMTP you should be fine.

Sorry, I should have made the problem clear.

I am trying to design a website with a form.

The users would fill in the form and if the users want to attach a file from their computer (hard drive), "e.g. a copy of their CV", they can do so.

Thanks in advance

Jeremy

Jeremy,

If you want to upload a file you'll either have to use Microsoft's Posting Acceptor (which I would not recommend, it's buggy as hell), purchase a 3rd party product like ASPUpload,SA FileUpload,etc , or develop your own upload component.

I can't get to specific until you know which way you're going to go, but basically the way it works is:

1. The client fills out the form and selects a file(s) to upload.

2. The form is submitted, the file(s) are uploaded and copied to the server's file system.

3. You prepare your CDONTs email, and attach the file(s) you just uploaded.

4. Send email

Done

I've used both ASPUpload & SA fileup and both work great, ASPUpload is probably a little more user friendly.

Thanks for your help - hoping that I've cracked it as a result!

Cheers

Jeremy
