FP2000 - Error with ASP Tell a Friend Script

[Gauthier]

Hi there...i found this tell a friend script on the web and am trying to
incorporate it onto my website but keep getting the following error:
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/emailthispageconfirm.asp, line 125
Invalid class string
- please note: i am a novice user - i found this code on the web and it is
supposed to be a simple copy/paste thing and it's turning out to be over my
head -
- i checked w/ my ISP beforehand, and they do support ASP

i have been all over the web on this and have found the following possible
solutions/causes:
- it means that the component has not been installed or registered on the
server. run regsvr32 to install and register the .dll.
(i have no idea WHAT .dll file to install/register, and no idea HOW to do
this)
- try installing the newest version of Microsoft MDAC
(how do i know what version i have, and if i need to install a newer
one??)

my DEFAULT.HTM page contains the following code:

<A HREF="../emailthispage.asp"><img border = 0
src="images/tell_a_friend4.gif" width="104" height="34"></A>
clicking on this image link successfully takes me to the
"emailthispage.asp" - no probs so far

my EMAILTHISPAGE.ASP page contains the following code:

<FORM action="emailthispageconfirm.asp" method="post" name="emailthispage">
<font face="Arial">
<input type="hidden" name="URL" value="<%= strURL %>"></font>
<%
DIM strURL
strURL = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_Referer")
IF strURL = "" THEN
Response.Write "Sorry, your browser does not support this function."
END IF

Whever it is you have this hosted, does not have this component installed -
SMTPsvg.Mailer (ASPMail from ServerObjects).

You will need to find out what Mail components your host supports.
