ASPRunnerPro General questions

Hi All,

I have been trying to send a mail to the logged in user. Unfortunately, ASPRunner doesn't have the functionality as standard, and Sergey doesn't have a Snippet.
The standard code from Events is like this:
email="User@testmail.com"

message="Hello there" & vbcrlf & " Best regards"

subject="Sample subject"

sendmail email, subject, message
What I would like (simply put is this (where "UsersEmail" is a field in the database):
email=Session("UsersEmail")

message="Hello there" & vbcrlf & " Best regards"

subject="Sample subject"

sendmail email, subject, message

Does anyone have this functionality already built, and be willing to post it for Tips & Tricks?
Thanks

Shandy

You could use Session("UserID") as long as the users e-mail is their login ID.

thanks Dale,

I was thinking about doing that, but ASPRunner won't let you use an email address as the login. For some reason, it doesn't like the @, or periods (not sure which).
Anyone else?
Cheers

Hmmm, thats strange Shandy, I use e-mail as log-ins on a few of my apps that were built via ASPRunner, are you just getting this error with the latest version?

I didn't actually try it with an earlier version (this is 5.1, build 326). This is the first one I tried to use the email part with.
After I had problems, I tried stripping everything after the '@' symbol and just leaving text. It worked fine, hence the reason i thought it didn't handle special characters with the logins.

I have no idea why, but it's now working?!

Hi Shandy,
The latest Build is 327, go to the link below and download the latest, it does say that 326 is the latest but after install you will find it is in fact Build 327, give that a try.

Download Build 327
