Can e-mails be sent from a database in a web? - 10/27/2006 10:21:11
Is it possible to get automatic e-mails sent from an MSAccess database contained in a website?
What I want to do is act as my own auto responder.
Front Page only allows the data that a visitor enters on a form to be sent to a database, or by an e-mail. Not both, so I thought I would try and get the database to send the e-mails..
The result I want to achieve is to collect the information from the visitor in the database and send them two e-mails in response.
I can create the database, but before I go to all that bother I would like to know if what I am trying to do is possible.
FYI. I do not have my own server and my website will be remotely hosted.

I would go take a look in www.hotscripts.com to see if there's a script that does it. There are loads of mailers around that do what you want but they tend to be ASP/PHP. Not sure how easy it is in FP but this post from ages ago might help
