Jason,
Yes it was the same Server.CreateObject Failed message with each object (AspEmail, Aspmail,CDONTS,....) The host is Cox and I talked to them to be sure SMTP was enabled. They immediately suggested changing to Linux server, so i am assuming they have constant problems with IIS and ASP
I use iPower and have never had any problems but this client did not want to change from Cox for some reason.
thanks again for your support,
Jim Balthrop
