CDOSYS error

[kodjo]

Error Type:
CDO.Message.1 (0x8004020D)
At least one of the From or Sender fields is required, and neither was found.
/test/mail/moremail.asp, line 37

This is the error I get when I ran David's CDOSYS snippet for sending email in win2k/asp3.Can anyone help with how to fix it, I am quite new at this.

Hi Dave attached is the entire code as per what you gave me yesterday.
I have mail server name.
I don't know if I have to do any configuration within IIS.
This is my most recent error.

Error Type:
CDO.Message.1 (0x8004020C)
At least one recipient is required, but none were found.
/test/mail/moremail.asp, line 37

Yeah Dave!
I am in deed.
Please have a look at line 34 of my code this requirement is satisfied.I am sure!
I gather you are silent about whether anything is to be done on IIS to aid my solution.Is that a fact.
This is killing me!
Do I have to ponint to anything?
Good Day.

hi,
i think your problem maybe that you need to have your requst.form enclosed by " and " for some reason this would not work:

.To = variableemailaddress


but this would:


.To = "&variableemailaddress&"


so try changing you're code to this:


.To = "&Request.Form('recipient')&"


or if that don't work try:


toaddress = Request.Form("recipient")
.To = "&toaddress&"

I think this will be the case also for .From
Hope this helps

hi,
yes Dave your correct. My syntax slightly off.

Error Type:
CDO.Message.1 (0x80040213)
The transport failed to connect to the server.

Hi Dave, since I tried your variations this is the error.
Have you looked at my code in an editor at all?
Would you be kind enough to ease the curve by addressing the line numbers to be affected.

Also, I take it as whenever I change a ".To" variablename-
I should change a corresponding ".From" variable name.

I did not think sending mail will be so hard in asp.
Its a duddle in CF(but I am quitting that) and this affair with asp is started rather strangely.Nevermind, lets keep trying.
