Getting a CDONT parameter - ASP / Active Server Pages

Simon Wigzell

My website sends automatic emails from many (25) different places. I want to
send a second email by reading the parameters of the first one. I don't want
to have to repeat and maintain the assignment of the second email
From,To,Subject fields so I am just using an include at each point in the
code where I send an email:

Set MyCDONTSMail = CreateObject("C DONTS.NewMail")
MyCDONTSMail.Bo dyFormat= 0
MyCDONTSMail.Ma ilFormat= 1
MyCDONTSMail.Fr om= fr************* *@whatever.com
MyCDONTSMail.To = to*******@whate ver.com
MyCDONTSMail.Su bject="some subject"
MyCDONTSMail.Bo dy= "some text":
%>

<%
MyCDONTSMail.Se nd
set MyCDONTSMail=no thing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SendFollowUpEma il.asp just wants to take the From,To,Subject parameters
that are defined in the original email and add a different body:

Set MyCDONTSMail2 = CreateObject("C DONTS.NewMail")
MyCDONTSMail2.B odyFormat= 0
MyCDONTSMail2.M ailFormat= 1
MyCDONTSMail2.F rom= MyCDONTSMail.Fr om
MyCDONTSMail2.T o= MyCDONTSMail.To
MyCDONTSMail2.S ubject=MyCDONTS Mail.Subject
MyCDONTSMail2.B ody= "some new text"
MyCDONTSMail2.S end
set MyCDONTSMail2=n othing

It chokes on this:

MyCDONTSMail2.F rom= MyCDONTSMail.Fr om

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'MyCDONTSMail.F rom'

Seems to me MyCDONTSMail.Fr om is only a string, why can't I retrieve its
value? More to the point though - how can I retrieve its value?

Thanks!

Instead of doing that, just do:

Set MyCDONTSMail = CreateObject("C DONTS.NewMail")
MyCDONTSMail.Bo dyFormat= 0
MyCDONTSMail.Ma ilFormat= 1
MyCDONTSMail.Fr om= fr************* *@whatever.com
MyCDONTSMail.Su bject="some subject"
MyCDONTSMail.Bo dy= "some text":

MyCDONTSMail.To = to*******@whate ver.com
MyCDONTSMail.Se nd

MyCDONTSMail.To = so************* *@example.com
MyCDONTSMail.Se nd

MyCDONTSMail.To = an************* **@example.com
MyCDONTSMail.Se nd

MyCDONTSMail.To = so************* *****@example.c om
MyCDONTSMail.Se nd

MyCDONTSMail.To = an***********@e xample.com
MyCDONTSMail.Se nd

....etc....

Are you running this in a Windows NT server? If not, you shouldn't be using
the old technology CDONTS. Please read:

Naturally. The [From] property is write-only:

Use Ray's suggestion. Better yet, use CDO.

The from address and the to address and the subject aren't known in advance,
I'm talking about a programmed website here.

I just want to know if there is a way to retrieve what has been set into a
CDONT structure, if it isn't possible then say so. I don't want to know a
different way of programming my website, its working fine. So I guess I have
to go back into all 25 pages where I do this and write specific code to send
the second email because it is not possible to retrieve what has been set
into a CDONT, ok, thanks.

Well - I couldn't have been more explicit describing my problem and what I
wanted to know, yet my problem remains unanswered and unadressed, meanwhile
I have been given some unrelated and useless advice, so yes, you are
probably right.

I apologise for being cranky, just one of those days.

I have been progrmaming for 20 years and never met a language or structure
where you could assign a value to something but not get it back. My intent
here was to try to do something once, instead I ahve to do it 25 times. Oh
well, c'est la vie.

Again, I apologise for my cranky ungrateful comments to your well meaning
