Last provider had ASPMail component, this new host does not have any component and email is with a third party host - I have a plesk control web panel. anyone know how i can get form mail to work here?

You just need to use cdo. This is a great resource. http://www.paulsadowski.com/wsh/cdo.htm
You can start with this
Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message"
objMessage.Subject = "yea mail"
objMessage.From = "me@my.com"
objMessage.To = "test@mydomain.com"
' objMessage.TextBody = "This is some sample message text."
objMessage.HTMLBody = "<h1>This is some sample message html.</h1>"
objMessage.Send
If you are on a shared host, chances are this might work. If you need to use a remote smtp or authorize with a password check out the example, "Sending a text email using authentication against a remote SMTP server."
You might have to do a few trial and errors to get the correct settings. I would try the simple version first. If that does not work, you can try and ask your web host which settings will work for cdo email. If you are using a remote smtp service then you could probably just use the given sample for remote but make sure you have the username, password, host, and port set.

Great.
In order to make this easy for me on multiple pages I keep this code on a separate page as a function and add it as an in include file on any page I need to send mail.
Sometimes I get really fancy and have a separate template file where I keep things like the header, footer, background etc that is also in a separate include file.

html="<table><tr><td>header</td></tr>"
