I have done out an online booking system.. but I need to add an extra feature whereby an e-mail reminder could be generated automatically(without me clicking anything) to the person who had make a booking 30 mins from his booking time.
I really have no clue n dun know what should I use to send an automated e-mail reminder. Can anyone teach me the steps to do so ? I 'm using asp and access database and is using windows 2000 .
I've already retrieved the users password from the database - I just
need to send it to the email address entered.
From reading many posts, I need a server-side script and rather not
use form mailto: nor use javascript on the users PC.
How do I this reminder? An applicant has submitted a leave application on 1 Jan 2005. If superior didn't approve / reject that leave application, a reminder will be sent to that superior again.
I already have the code on sending email but just wonder what code should I have to tell the system to automatically, run a code in certain time like the above case. I think I need my code should be in my global.asa file, isn't it?
I don't necessarily need code here, just some guidance to my thought process.
I have built a system for a hospital where users can sign up for classes that the hospital offers. Now, I want to be able to send the users a reminder email a day or so before the event/class. In the database, I have all the user's info in one table. Another table holds the registrations with keys to the user table and the key to the table that has a listing of the classes.
How do I now go about automatically looking through the class table to find out if there is a class in the next 24 hours, and then send an email to all the people registered for that class?
I want to add an event reminder email feature that will go to the users that have already signed for the event a day before.
Can someone please help me as to how to start on this code?

Please attempt to solve your own problems before posting to Sitepoint. I know I (and other persons who will remain anonymous) find it a little irritating when one (or more) of the following happens:
1) We can type your question into Google and the answer is the first hit that comes up.
1.1) We can type your question into Sitepoint's search and the answer is the first hit that comes up.
2) Your question is answered two posts below your question.
3) The answer requires merely looking up the appropriate object/function in the ASP/VBScript references. *
4) Two or three minutes after posting your question, you post "Oh, nevermind, I got it." without even referencing the solution so other people with the same question will know how you did it.

Now, please don't think that I'm ranting and raving. I'm just trying to inform those persons who do the above on a regular basis.

I just started learning ASP and I need to set up a very basic password reminder service for my website. Basically I just want the user to input their email address and get an email with their password sent to them.
View Replies View RelatedI've read the thread on how to design an automatic email reminder system, but does anyone have any tutorials or code on how to set it up using Access 2000 and/or SQL Server?
There are no articles on the net (that I could find) related to automatically sending a user an email at a set date and time from 1 table of a database.
From what I can gather, I may need to use a stored procedure, but there's no tutorial on how to design or implement this.

I want to send the registerd users on my web site emails on a specific time automatically for example: a birthdate reminder.
But I need this to be done automatically when the time reached as they specified in the registeration form. Others said to me that the only available ways is to make an application for this, and make it run forever on the server to check the DB, and when the time reached it sends the reminders.

View Replies View RelatedI've been researching how to send text messages and ringtones to cell phones. I've found out that one way is to use ASP which I can handle a bit. Thing is that it seems that you have to subscribe to a pretty costly service that will transmit your messages.
The only exception I've found so far is http://smsonweb.www1.dotnetplayground.com/ksms.asmx?op=SendSMS but it doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone know of any other free services for this or where I can find more info.I'm not looking to develop any commercial software just to learn something new.

I'm 99.9999999999999999999% sure there haven't been any code changes, since the date stamps of the code are older than any email 'failures'
The email piece quit working using the mail.send. If there haven't been any changes made to previously working code, where do I look for the problem now? I restarted the SMTPservice in IIS. Our real email is hosted remotely, I checked with the admin and she said no changes were made, i.e., not blocking port 25 traffic from the gateway.
I guess this isn't ASP specific, but any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

View Replies View RelatedI've got an asp page that uses CDO.Message and
CDO.Configuration to send an email.
I'm not receiving any of these emails normally (i.e. in
Outlook), instead they all end up in this folder :
Inetpub/Mailroot/Queue.
Could someone please explain what this means? Does this
mean the emails have been successfully sent?...or are they
waiting to be sent?
I'm pretty sure my smtpserver name is correct because i've
got the same thing going in .NET and it all works ok there
(as in I get an email thru Outlook). Just can't seem to
get it going in ASP.
Not sure if it this relevant...I'm behind a firewall, so
i'm assuming the smtpserver name is for a smart host,
which is fine in .NET, but i'm not sure how that'll work
out in ASP (eg. what do i set the serverport number to?)
Anyone have any pointers as to how i could get asp to send some simple emails?
View Replies View RelatedI've just downloaded a component called AspEmail (http://www.aspemail.com). When i tried to test my code using the localhost, it require sthe address of my SMTP server inorder to send the email.
I put "localhost" as the address but i cannot send the mail for some wierd reason. I check the badmail folder just to find some mails under the "queue" folder.
I've tried the same code in a different pc, and i got a different error: AspEmail: Simple.asp
Error occurred: Connection timed out.
Does any body know how to send email using that aspemail component on localhost
Appreciate it.
