cdosys works but sends me two emails and doesn't want to redicect

Hi there, I'm trying to get my cdosys code to work for email purposes. I am a newbie to all of this so any help will be appreciated. I have two questions:
Firstly my submit form goes directly to the thank_u.htm page when someone clicks on the link to go to my submit form.
Secondly if I take the response.redirect line out of my code, I get an empty email when someone opens the page and then the second one when the person clicks on the submit button. (The second email works fine.)
I think the answer for 1 should solve 2 as well.
Here is my code.

<title>Submit Query</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/submit.css">

sending emails from asp code is one of the most frustrating things I have ever tried. Often your host will lock it down even though there is no issue in your code. Have you tried talking to your web host? They might have documentation available.

hi jhardman

After trying lots of different code I asked my web host and they actually gave me this one. With instructions for the settings that I needed to change. I checked to see if I missed anything but I haven't.

I thought that maybe the problem is with the html code but that doesn't really make sense to me. Thanks for your initial reply.
