Sends the email feedback to a Distribution List in his Outlook


one of my client has requested a form that sends the email feedback to a Distribution List in his Outlook Contacts. So…is there a way to code a form to pull the emial addresses from an Outlook Contact distribution list?

This looks like an attempt to steal email addresses from an address book and spam the heck out of them. Is that what you are trying to do?

You can save the contacts as a text file and input them all to a database which is stored on the web server.Then when the form sends an email it can send it to all the addresses.

If your outlook uses exchange server on active directory. I believe you can then query the server using ldap to get what you want.

Zip a directory on hosted server


I’m moving hosts and one of my directories is huge, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to zip it up before I transfer it to the new server. this is on a windows server and I can only run classic ASP on this account.

any suggestion

There wasn’t a way to do it with that host. However, If the new host uses cpanel and there is a way to zip and unzip via the file manager utility.

Contact your host and ask them to do it.

sp code in a text file


I need to write asp code in a text file ( .txt extension) . How do i make it work?

You can use notepad to write the code and save the textfile as .asp or .txt for safekeeping.

Thanx for reply but i need a way to make asp engine parse the text file as asp file.

you need to configre your server to use ASP for .txt extensions

Yes, Unless you have access to configure the server this is impossible.
