ASP form problem: Mailing Failed... Error is: FromAddress Property cannot be blank

3 New Member

Hi everyone,
I don't have a lot of experience with ASP and I was hoping someone could help me. I want to use our ASP form along with some javascript code to create a form where our patrons can select which department they will send the form to (we are trying to consolidate forms). This is what I have so far, but when I test the form, I keep getting this error message:
Mailing Failed... Error is:
FromAddress Property cannot be blank.

You can view/test the live form here:
http://myweb.twu.edu/~bklug/ask_test.htm

Any help is greatly appreciated.
