<form method="POST" action="contact.asp">
Fields marked (*) are required

<p>Email From:* <br>
<input type="text" name="EmailFrom">
<p>Name:<br>
<input type="text" name="Name">
<p>TelephoneNumber:* <br>
<input type="text" name="TelephoneNumber">
<p>Street1:<br>
<input type="text" name="Street1">
<p>Street2:<br>
<input type="text" name="Street2">
<p>City:<br>
<input type="text" name="City">
<p>County:<br>
<input type="text" name="County">
<p>YourMessage:<br>
<textarea name="YourMessage"></textarea>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

Why aren't you using any ASP.NET? Building that form with ASP controls would make your efforts in code-behind much easier.

I think the OP is working with just ASP, not ASP.Net. Unfortunately ASP is before my time.

What's wrong with this short ASP code ?? please help .. 10 points !!!?
Please help me figure out what's wrong with this SHORT ASP code for email form?
I am more familiar with PHP .... I am trying to implement a contact form in ASP because the server is only compatible with it .. but when I test it to see if it sends the message to my email address , I dont see anything .. could someone please tell me where I went wrong.

HTML FORM CODE:
html>
<head>
<title>form to email script</title>
</head>
<body>

<div align="center">
<form method="POST" action="form_ac.asp" name="form1">
<table width="75%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr> 
<td>name:</td>
<td colspan="2"> 
<input type="text" name="name">
</td>
</tr>
<tr> 
<td>email:</td>
<td colspan="2"> 
<input type="text" name="email">
</td>
</tr>
<tr> 
<td>message:</td>
<td colspan="2"> 
<textarea name="message" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Call this page form_ac.asp (the ac is short for acquire as it will be receiving values)

<%@ Language="VBscript" %>
<% Option Explicit %>

<html>
<head>
<title>Message Sent</title>
</head>

<body>
<%
'declare the variables that will receive the values 
'receive the values sent from the form and assign them to variables
'note that request.form("name") will receive the value entered into the textfield
'called name, and so with email and message
Dim name, email, message, NewMailObj
name=request.form("name")
email=request.form("email")
message=request.form("message")

'create the mail object and send the details
Set NewMailObj=Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.N…
NewMailObj.From = "alicew_b@hotmail.com"
NewMailObj.To = "alicew_b@yahoo.com"
NewMailObj.Subject = "New message sent.." 
NewMailObj.Body = "the name you entered was " & name & _
"<br>the email was " & email & _
"<br>the message was " & message

'you need to add the following lines FOR the mail to be sent in HTML format
NewMailObj.BodyFormat = 0 
NewMailObj.MailFormat = 0 
NewMailObj.Send
'Close the email object and free up resources 
Set NewMailObj = nothing
Response.write "The email was sent."
%> 

</body>
</html>

You should probably contact the hosting provider and work with them to get your mail function working. They should know how to get an email function working with their system.
