I have successful setup email forms on our web site using CDO and ASP
scripting,
using this coding
http://www.ilopia.com/Articles/Windo...r2003/CDO.aspx

It is used on this page
http://www.chaucer.sheffield.sch.uk/about/contact.asp

The form works, but when the mail arrives it in the inbox, the senders
name
is not displayed, as it is not included in the form.

Only "From (Email Address)" and "Message" are included.

How do I add a name field, and maybe extra field to be included in the
message.

Thank you for any help.

I don't think you can, I think its your email program that stores that info.
If you have this address in your contacts, it will use the friendly name.

The only thing you could do is add another input for the user to enter their
name.
You can then assignt the From field with:-

..From = Request.Form("n ame") & "<" & Request.Form("e mail") & ">"

That would work, but I am not very experienced with asp.

I tried but the page isn't working now, please advise further.

If Request.Form("b tnSend").Count 0 Then
Set objMessage = CreateObject("C DO.Message")
objMessage.Subj ect = Request.Form("s ubject")

objMessage.Send er = Request.Form("F rom = Request.Form("n ame") & "<" &
Request.Form("e mail") & ">")

objMessage.To = Request.Form("T o")
objMessage.Text Body = Request.Form("m essage")
objMessage.Conf iguration.Field s.Item _

This in your code:-

objMessage.Send er = Request.Form("F rom = Request.Form("n ame") & "<" &
Request.Form("e mail") & ">")

Should be this:-

objMessage.From = Request.Form("n ame") & "<" & Request.Form("e mail") & ">"

Just for background info, when I click submit the form sends okay, but when the email arrives in my inbox the $name value is non-existent - like nothing had been entered in the box on the web page form.
