I am using Dreamweaver as a front end website linked to an Access Database
and need to know how to send automatically generatted emails for actions such
as successfully registering on the website? if anyone could help me on this i
would be extremely grateful.
 
The question is not exactly relevant to Access. Access can't help you in
this case because unfortunately it does not support triggers (as does MS
SQL). Your best solution will probably be doing it in VB. You're probably
going to have to look at creating a VB transaction that includes adding the
user to the db and then accessing the outlook classes to send email
(provided you have outlook installed on your webserver). The VB transaction
makes sure that either everything within it succeeds or if at least one
things fails it does not commit anything.

I would suggest you also try asking the same question in a newsgroup for
Dreamweaver (sorry can't help you there!) and Outlook.
