ASP, Server.CreateObject and Flash - Urgent!!

**Trond** · 03-16-2000, 07:18 PM

I am trying to get this asp-script to send a email, after the user have typed in his e-mail adress in a flash-form, but with all the scripts I have tried, I get this error, which is connected to the server.createobject command... Is there any other ways doing this?? It would be enough to be able to save the users emailadress in a text file or html file, together with the date/clock of post

Error Type:
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)

Sounds like you are using an invalid name for your object, or the object is not installed properly. The system cannot find your object in the registry. Make sure you tyoed the name correctly.

If you are using the CDONTS object to send mail, don't, it is very buggy, it only works for a few weeks and then just stops sending.

Personally I always install ActivePerl on an NT web server and use Perl to send email is it has a set of useful and reliable libraries.

If you want to log to a text file, use scripting.filesystemobject with the OpenTextFile method, it is really nice. You can use request.serverVariables("PATH_TRANSLATED") to retrieve path information that you can modify and use to point to your logfile location, or just hardcode a path.

PS VbScript 'now' function returns the date

Ok,

you error I believe indicates that you are calling an object that isnt registered properly within Windows NT.

As for CDONTS mail Object. I have used it to send my e-mails for a long time. almost 3yrs. But I do I agree it has bugs in it and it isnt as flexible as other e-mail Objects. You also need to have the latest CDONTS dll as it has quiet a number of fixes. It a good object a for a quick e-mail form.
