Form Submit.
Hi Experts
Once a form is submitted, how can I send details of that form in the body of an email?
Is it also possible to send those details as Fax?
Thank you

If you are an ASPTODAY member they have an excellent article on how to do this and configure IIS.
The code will run on most IIS web servers (hosted) and if you have your own then you wil need to configure it with a valid SMTP mail server, as both articles specify.
To send to a fax is a little more tricky. I have been successful by doing the following:
1. Send a successful email.
2. Get a standard account at eFax.com - very cheap (or another similar site you find)
3. eFax gives you an email address that you can use to send faxes.
4. Use this email account in your application, pass in the fax number you wish to fax to and send it out like a normal email.
I will send you the code I specifically used if you like but that is the basics of the application. By eFax giving you an email account, anything that is sent here will be faxed. That's the beauty, it's a work-around, and its not so clean but it works.
