Hi Guys

I have a db running on a webserver where staff use data acces pages to add and edit information. Now i would like to know if it is possible to have the DB send an email with the new data to a standard adress. Like sending a report but have it be send automaticly upon every new or changed entry

Any help would be much apreciated

I know nothing about DAPs however on a webserver it's a common
technique to use CDONTS, which requires the server to have the SMTP
service installed.

You don't need smtp on that server, but you need a smtp server ...

SMTP Service. Which is a component of the Win NT4.0/2000/2003
Server. Used only for sending emails.

Although you could also use an email server I would imagine but I
don't know if CDONTS will use such.
