CDOSYS send email with ASP

[paulmitchell507]

I have a file called email2.asp which I am using to mail data obtained
from a SQL query. I would like to pass the holiday_ID value in the
querystring attached to the end of the URL. It all works except that
I can't get the value of holiday_ID included as a querystring. As a
test I can insert a value after the ?id= and this is passed as a
querystring.

I am sure it's just the syntax that I am having problem with
<%
Option Explicit
<!--#include file="admin_navigation.asp" -->

'Declare variables
Dim sch, cdoConfig, cdoMessage, holiday_ID, email, auth
holiday_ID = Request.Form("myname")
sch = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"

Set cdoConfig = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

With cdoConfig.Fields
'Set CDO Port
.Item(sch & "sendusing") = 2
'Set mailserver name either IP address, mail.yoursite.com or
localhost
.Item(sch & "smtpserver") = "192.156.217.6"
'Set SMTP port which is 25 by default
.Item(sch & "smtpserverport") = 25
'Set number of seconds before timeout
.Item(sch & "smtpconnectiontimeout") = 60
.update
End With

Set cdoMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

With cdoMessage
Set .Configuration = cdoConfig
.From = "ad***********@domain.com"
.To = "pa**@ndomani.com"
.Subject = ""& email
'Send the email in HTML format
.HTMLBody = "<a href='http://192.156.217.134/authorise.asp?
id=holiday_ID'>delete record</a><br><br>"
.Send
End With

Set cdoMessage = Nothing
Set cdoConfig = Nothing
%>

In your example
part of a string sould automagically change into the value of a variable?

If you think that is possible, it would seem you have no idea what
programming is about.

Try:

..HTMLBody = "<a href='http://192.156.217.134/authorise.asp?id="&_
holiday_ID & "'>delete record</a><br><br>"

You are correct, I know very little about programming, hence why I
have posted the question. Maybe I have not explained myself very
well. If insert the following code
HTMLBody = "<a href='http://192.156.217.134/authorise.asp'>delete
record</a><br><br>"
The user will receive a hyperlink called 'delete record' which will
take them to my authorise.asp page.
All I want to do is add my variable, holiday_ID to the string, a bit
like response.write "my holiday id is" & holiday_ID
So when the user activates the link, the user gets directed to the asp
page with the holiday_ID as a querystring. I can then use the
holiday_ID value in the authorise.asp page.

Dear Evertjan
Sorry, I did not see your example code in the previous post. Thank
you very much for taking the time to help me, the following code works

.HTMLBody = "<a href='http://192.x.x.x/authorise.asp?id="& email
&"'>delete record</a><br><br>"

Paul
PS Maybe you could assist me in the future...I am sure I am going to
need it!

Ok, no signatures!
My next problem (again simple to solve if you have the knowledge)
regarding CDOSYS. The CDOSYS script is located on email.asp,
surrounded by the delimiters <% and %>. I would like to run the
CDOSYS script and then use a SQL insert command to update the
database. At the monent, I cant get the email.asp page to do anything
other than run the CDOSYS script.

You misunderstand. Your signature should be there,
but there is no reason to QUOTE mine(!) in your(!) posting.

My next problem (again simple to solve if you have the knowledge)

How would you know?

surrounded by the delimiters <% and %>. I would like to run the
CDOSYS script and then use a SQL insert command to update the
database. At the monent, I cant get the email.asp page to do anything
other than run the CDOSYS script.

There is no "CDOSYS script" as such, there is ASP-vbscript or
ASP-jscript between the <% and the %>, that is executed by and on the
server.

CDOSYS commands can be inserted in such scripts, if you want that email
functionality used. I myself use Jmail instead. The scripting can be
done in any .asp file, the name email.asp is just the name the
programmer that wrote your page gave to the page file, and it could have
included other functionality as well.

So if you want to add or change functionality, there are two options:

1 You learn to programme in ASP-vbs and/or ASP-jscript, and programme
yourself. If you get into trouble, we will be here to help you, but we
will not do the task for you, see 2.

2 You let someone else do the task. Usually you pay such programmer for
his work.

A good start for learning would be to read the archives of this NG, or
to search for ASP tutorials on Google.

Forget my last post!
I was looking at the wrong asp page. The SQL INSERT command was not
working because I had not not written it correctly. I have everything
working except for one last task. I will do a bit more research
before posting for help!

Ok, I think I am trying to doing something that is very simple,
inserting the results of a SQL query into an existing table in my
access DB.

uSQL = "SELECT cal_date, holiday_ID from Calendar, holiday_tbl WHERE
(((calendar.cal_Date) Between [holiday_tbl].[startdate] And
[holiday_tbl].[enddate])) And Email_sent=0 AND Staff_ID=" & Staff_ID

The query returns a holiday_ID and a cal_date for each record if finds
that matches the criteria. I can test the results my adding the
following,

If recordset.EOF Then
Response.write "<div align='centre'>Sorry no holidays found</div>"
Else
Do while not recordset.Eof
response.write recordset("holiday_id") & " " & recordset("cal_date") &
" "
recordset.movenext
Loop
End If

My question is simple, how can I insert the results into an existing
table named holiday_dates? The table has 2 fields, holiday_ID and
cal_date.

Regards, Paul
