steveg -> FP Upload Utility (6/26/2009 5:09:49)
I have a site that has report areas for a number of clients (about 40). I have an admin person who prepares and uploads the reports to te relevant client report area. As part of the process they receive the standard email notification that uploading was successful. We would like to have a second email sent to a nominated person for the individual client so that they know the report has been posted. In an ideal world, I would specify two email addresses and that would be that. However, it isn't an ideal world and it would appear that you are unable to specify two email addresses. Does anybody have any ideas for a simple solution to the problem? Thanks Steve

Most all of the PHP mail scripts will allow any number of email recipients. Best if you are on a unix server. You didn't say what server you are using. If on a windows server you can use asp.net scripts to do the same thing.

Most email components allow multiple recipients, unix/php and windows/asp. Do you know what email component (cdonts, cdosys etc.) you're using and can you show the code where the emailing is happening?

It is a Windows server and the upload utility is pure FrontPage. The code for a file submission is:

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onSubmit="">
  <!--webbot bot="FileUpload" u-file="../_private/upload_results.csv" s-format="TEXT/CSV" s-label-fields="TRUE" b-reverse-chronology="FALSE" s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" s-email-address="katy@4dpharmacy.com" b-email-label-fields="TRUE" b-email-subject-from-field="FALSE" s-email-subject="Your new monthly report is now available at the 4D website" s-destination="clients/xxx/reports/monthly_report/" s-category s-assignedto s-reviewstatus b-process-metainfo="FALSE" s-date-format="%A, %d %B %Y" s-time-format="%H:%M:%S %Z" s-builtin-fields="Date Time" u-confirmation-url="confirm_monthly_upload.htm" startspan --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="_charset_" VALUE="windows-1252"><!--webbot bot="FileUpload" endspan i-checksum="58985" --><p>

Here are the available email components as detected by Spooky Login - ASPMail, ASPQMail, CDOSYS

All I want to do is add in a second recipient for the email alongside Katy who is already there.

Could this solution benfit you? http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/m-327751/tm.htm#327751

Ah, frontpage webbot stuff. I don't believe it handles multiple email addresses, from what I've read (I'm not an FP webbot DRW/DFW person at all). The email components you listed handle multiple emails addresses, but again I don't think the FP bot stuff does. You can either re-write your form in straight ASP and then can utilize the email component yourself, or go with Swoosh's solution (which is easy and fast!)

I have about 40 different clients and Katy does the admin for them all. I guess then I would create a new mailbox and create rules based upon text in the message body that would identify the location (as each client resides in a folder that is named with their client number) and therefore the client to be contacted, along with Katy? I would end up with 1 rule for each client. Is that the cleanest way? Steve

ou812 -> RE: FP Upload Utility (6/26/2009 19:45:19)
I'm sure it doesn't really matter which way you go as long as it is easy for you (to maintain!). I would probably go for a mail box for each client and then set each of those up to forward to Katy and whomever user. Just seems simpler to me and I would prefer setting up mail boxes over creating rules. 1/2 dozen one 6 of the other?

steveg -> RE: FP Upload Utility (6/27/2009 1:50:29)
One last thought, do you know of any examples of .asp code for uploading files? I am not an .asp person as such, but if it is a neater solution I am prepared to invest a little time and effort? Thanks Steve

ou812 -> RE: FP Upload Utility (6/27/2009 11:25:10)
Doing a quick google search brings up quite a few. Here are a couple you may want to look into (I've not tried them): http://www.webconcerns.co.uk/asp/uploadasp/default.asp http://www.freeaspupload.net/
