What exactly do you mean by "call a PHP file from VB"? Do you mean VB-Script running within a web browser, such as ASP? A VB-programmed Win32 application? VB ActiveX component on the server? The only way you could get a VB standalong app to call a php-script is by embedding a php interpreter into your application, and that's still no guarentee that you could get the mail() function to work. If, on the other hand, you're trying to call a php-script from within an ASP page, you could simply redirect the browser to this page, passing variables on the url line. Some ASP code (sorry guys)... also note that I'm a bit rusty at ASP by now :) <% Response.Redirect("<pathtophpscript>/emailscript.php?name=" &Request.Form("UserName")&"&email="&Request.Form("email")) %> -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
