    Re: CDONTS.Send ignored

    Thanks, Ray.
    The approach you are describing in that many words is well known as "Problem
    Isolation" and of course, I have tried it while waiting comments from
    colleagues in here.
    CDONTS usage is well documented. I cut and pasted an example and run it
    alone without any databases you mention - same result. Same about
    Microsoft.XMLDO M
    I do not think I need to post these examples for discussions in here, don't
    I?

      Re: CDONTS.Send ignored

      The problem of creating files, as any real problem, got sorted itself out.
      Just a moment ago about 20 files which I tried to create fior the previous
      three hours suddenly appeared where they were expected to appear.
      I do not know where ther were delayed - I monitor the folder content using
      and FTP programme.
      Either the FTP did not see these files, or the server delayed placing the
      file into the folder. One thin is for sure - the names of the files are made
      of the date and the time they are created - and all these names exactly
      metched the files' date and time

      Still no sign of emails sent - perhaps they are too somewhere in the
      pipeline - perhaps I should wait till tomorrow. Meanwhile thank you
      everybody who replied.

        It certainly couldn't hurt to post the example code snippets here so that
        others can execute the same code and post the results.

          Re: CDONTS.Send ignored

          I have it indeed, but next to it goes

          If err.number <> 0 then
          Response.write( "Errors occurred while saving your form
          submission.")
          Else
          Response.write "The Order has been saved to " & fPath &". <a
          href=/data/orders/" & fName &
          ".xml><br/>View the Order as an XML file</a><p/>"
          End If

          So I understand that I should have "Errors occurred while saving your form
          submission."
          But I do have "The Order has been saved to" which means that err.number <>
          0
          Yet no file was created

          But I was wrong in my previous message blaming FileSystemObjec t.
          The file in question is supposed to be created by Microsoft.XMLDO M object
          and
          "ON ERROR RESUME NEXT" goes after
          Set objDom = Server.CreateOb ject("Microsoft .XMLDOM")
          some manipulations to form a file name and the path to place it into
          objDom.Save (path and file name)

          I stress, that it worked previously on ISP w2000 server and still works on
          my local w2000

            I stress that you really need to take out your On Error Resume Next
            statement (or move it around to different locations as needed) whenever
            you're trying to debug something.

              Ray,

              I left come idea od what I am doing in my reply to Curt's question.
              The whole code is quite long and seat in several .inc files therefore to
              copy it here is not streightforward and probably will require time for you
              to get its logic.
              Is that sufficient for you to guess where should I be looking for an error
              and I copy here relevant bit.

                Re: CDONTS.Send ignored

                This makes sense, David.

                I can change directories at my will as for security reasons my ISP created
                only one directory with the writing permissions. So I have to stick to it.
                As I mentioned, it worked OK 2 month ago.
                It is possible, that the server changes its behavour in *some* folder?
                Are you also saying that CDO does not cause similar problems.

                  Re: CDONTS.Send ignored

                  Thanks, Curt, it was the most useful.
                  On my local PC all my messages are there, so as Ray suggested, I have to
                  look at SMTP.
                  Obviously I cannot check these folders on my ISP server. Perhaps they
                  changed SMTP settings

                    Re: CDONTS.Send ignored

                    It turns out that you were right about SMTP, at least in respect of my local
                    PC.

                    I followed SMTP link you offered and found a good MS SMTP Help file.
                    The proble is it is so good and detailed that to study it is a separate
                    project.
                    My concern is, whether OutlookExpress which is working fine for the moment,
                    relies on SMTP settings.
                    if I start experimenting with SMTP, is there a chanse of OutlookExpress
                    prtests and go on strike?

                      Chances are that you use your ISP's SMTP server in OE, not your own internal
                      one. So, if that's the case, no, it won't affect OE.

                        How can I check if I use my ISP's SMTP server in OE ?

                            Do you mean that if in
                            Outgoing Mails (SMTP) I have the address of my provider, this means that I
                            am using the ISP's SMTP ?

                              No, your e-mail address means nothing and does not tell you what your POP
                              and SMTP settings are. See your ISP's FAQs. For example, if you use
                              Verizon DSL,
                              http://onlinehelp.verizon.net/SRVS/C...xi=1,case=2372.

                                Ray,
                                I am talking about my ISP SMTP server address like
                                mail.microsoft. com
                                which is shown in Outgoing Mails (SMTP), not about my email address.
