Returning Database information in email

Hi,

Can anyone help with a way of returning information in a database (access) to
an email address. So whoever is enquiring, they will receive it in their own
email address.

Any ideas.

Thanks for your help

Simply query the database and create a recrdset with the pertinent
information. Then use the output fields in the to: on the app you have that
is sending out the emails

Thanks for that, but have only just started using dreamweaver and abit of a
novice. Could you please explain inabit less technical details. Sorry to sound
so vague. Maybe theres an area I can read up on.

thanks

It all depends upon the server model that you are using. If you can let me
know that then I can be more specific.

Hi,

At the moment I'm just using my own pc which has IIS loaded and need to test
with the intention of setting up an intranet for users to access password
information. All I really have at the moment is the database and trialling
dreamweaver with the intention of buying if able to get it working.
cheers and thanks for your time.

You will need to determin which application software you are going to run on
this intranet before you can go any further

Hi,

When you say "application software" which software are you referring to? We
will be using Internet explorer to browse intranet, access for the database and
probably dreamweaver to maintain site. Is there something I'm missing.

Thanks

Yes

Internet Explorer on its own can only view static html pages (is written in
straight html with no database interaction)

The second you want to interact with a database you need two things. Firstly
a webserver, and secondly an application server. If your network is
Microsoft based then the odds are that you will have IIS available so that
takes care of the webserver.

The application server is what provides the link between the code written on
your page that references the database elements. Again if your server is IIS
then you can easily run .asp or .aspx pages.

Hi,

Yes, running IIS on my pc as a server. Happy to use asp, how do I go about
this? I got forms working and returning results using an extension I downloaded
(generate simple search), but now I want to send an email to the user,
containing that same information they are looking for.

thanks
