    Problem with form

    Hallo

    I have just designed a form to go on a web site but when I try it I get an error 501 not implemented not supported

    Can anyone tell me where my error lies and how to repair it

    Many thanks

    Maybe your host doesn't support that?

    Thanks for the reply - I have tried the Microsoft suggestions but no help. I have had a form on the web site previously but it was one which I found on the internet (free). However I now wish to improve the layout and thought (incorrectly it would seem) that I could design it myself direct from HTML.

    The actual error message reads:

    The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'name@isp.net%22'. Subject 'Form posted from Windows Internet Explorer.', Account: 'name', Server: 'smtpmail.isp.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '501 <name@isp.net%22>: malformed address: %22> may not follow <name@isp.net', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 501, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

    It would seem the 22% has something to do with it but maybe I am wrong in that assumption

    Any more help would be welcome. thanks

    It could well be... I'm no expert in forms but if it were me, I would start from the ground up and with each edit, test it, then continue.

    Server Error: 501, Error Number: 0x800CCC79 is certainly a bad address syntax.

    Yeah, it seems as the %22 causes the problem. %22 translates from HEX to ASCII as " which is the quotation mark. I would check your code and make sure you didn't put an extra " somewhere, since we all know... it's the little things that always f*** us up with coding :]

    You can also paste the code of your actual form along with the code that processes it on the server.

    Good luck and let me know!
