Form Data - 3/17/2005 11:35:55
I have an order form, not for a shopping cart. Its just a form with approximately 60 fields. I currently have this information being emailed to me, however its very hard to read or follow. I've created a confirmation page and placed all my fields on them so it looks more like a customer filled in order form. Can I have this confirmation page automatically emailed to me when my customer hits submit on the order page?
PS. I changed it up for my customer as well. Now they can print the confirmation page to have a copy of what they will be sending to me. Instead, can this also be automatically emailed to them?
Thanks,
carl

Does the 'confirming email with aspmail' topic a little below not help (http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/m-257685/tm.htm)?
How are you sending the email? You can format the email to have whatever text you want to make it easy to read and you can send as many emails as you like if you are doing the coding.

The sample you showed me looks alot like what I have now.
To see what I'm doing look at my form: My Order Page
After you click on the submit button, the confirmation page comes up. I made this page so it can be printed. This is the page I want to be able to send to myself and my customer. Right now, the information that is sent to me looks a little like this and its a lot of it.

I was intially thinking that you could have formatted the text however you wanted in the Body variable for that topic I mentioned.
Body = ' Bill to: ' & Field1 & ' Ship To: ' & Field2
and so on.
But I see what you mean with the tables. I am not sure how to get that complete control over the format of the e-mail. And I don't know of a way to send the actual page.
The best thing I would do is save your results to a database and have a form that displays each record however you want it (and an e-mail that just lets you know its there?). However, that wouldn't solve an e-mail to your customer.
I guess I didn't fully understand what you were looking for...

Thanks, I like the idea of a database. I know my server has MySql. But I'm not sure how to set up a database.
Any ideas?

Well, if you just want to save to a database you can use the 'send to database' on Form Properties option. If you want to do both the database and a confirming e-mail to let you know then you need to do coding.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B275251 is a link for database and e-mail but uses CDONTS for the e-mail setup and needs to be altered if your server does something else.

My server does not support CDONTS. What happens if I tell it to send to file and email me. Then someone comes along right after and orders. Will that overright the 1st file?

If you save to a file it doesn't overwrite anything. It should create another line for each person. The only thing with doing the file and e-mail is that the file cannot be a database. That is why Microsoft's white paper doesn't mention this option for the database and e-mail. (If it is possible I had a hell of a time)
To do e-mail and database you have to do the coding. Do you know what e-mail system your server uses? I don't use CDONTS either but I changed the code to use my system.

I asked my hosting company and they said they use sendmail.

I'm not familiar with sendmail but if it is like any of the others I know it won't be too difficult to translate from CDONTS. Just do internet searches for something like 'ASP sendmail' to find examples of the code you need to use sendmail with the ASP code.
