Greetings,
I have been trying to get my CDONTS script to work and am having some difficulty.
This is what my script says:
Code:
$= SetOption("WrapOnEol","On")
$cmail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
If @error = 0
$cmail.To = "xyz@@mycompany.com"
$cmail.From = @userid+"@mycompany.com"
$cmail.Subject = "Client Problem: "+@wksta
$cmail.Body = @wksta+@crlf+@userid+@crlf+@fullname
$cmail.Send $cmail = 0
EndIf
This code was taken from thread CDONT Thread
It appears to be working with no errors, but no email. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this any further. Any suggestion would be great

Maybe this...
Code:
$= SetOption("WrapOnEol","On")
$cmail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
If @error = 0
$cmail.To = "xyz@@mycompany.com"
$cmail.From = @userid+"@@mycompany.com"
$cmail.Subject = "Client Problem: "+@wksta
$cmail.Body = @wksta+@crlf+@userid+@crlf+@fullname
$cmail.Send
$cmail = 0
EndIf
You doubled the @'s in the TO field but you forgot to in the FROM field.

CDONTS should also be covered in the FAQ Section too.

@'s are considered special chars in kix since they are used by built in macros. They have to be doubled up in strings. From the manual......
Quote:
Note: The characters @, %, or $ are normally used to indicate macros, environment strings, or variables. If you want to use these characters in a string, use @@, %%, or $$.
So @userid+"@@mycompany.com" would be interpreted by kix as sptomey@company.com for me.
