Hello, I am trying out your beta 5.2 (I own a much older copy of Pro and will upgrade shortly).
I have two problems which I am working on, I will post the first one since I haven't given up on finding a solution on the other.
I am working on the registration/password reminder.
I have it going thru my e-mail account on my other website on hostmonster (I perfer its email settings). Â The actual database is located on another server (1 and 1).
Anyways, I configured it fine, I tested it locally with no problems, it works like a champ sending e-mail notifications to registered users and to the admin.
Only problem: Â When I upload it to the server, I get this message:
CDO.Message.1 error '80040213'
The transport failed to connect to the server.
/include/commonfunctions.asp, line 8240

Now I have been going on Google, and this site as well and determined that it could be a number of problems.
Since it works Locally, I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the code. Â The problem must be my firewall settings/permissions or something related to access. Â Do you think it is the settings on the host server for the database, or my email host needs to be changed? Â Any insight on this? Â I'll continue to monkey around on my settings and see if I can get it fixed....If I do I will post the solution...But if anyone knows off hand what I should do that would be great!!!

Just FYI, I did switch to the actual email account on my server. Â Funny thing is that it fails when I test locally, but is OK once it is loaded, the opposite of the other one which works locally but fails when tested.

This error means ASP page is not able to connect to SMTP server.
Some servers only allow local connections which can be the issue. You can also check firewall settings.
