[thelist] email attachments using ASP

[Ken Schaefer]

Hi James,

As you are probably aware by now, ASP is not a language. Instead, it's a
"framework" or similar, in which you can write pages using a number of
different languages. VBScript is the most popular. In order for the server
to process pages written in VBScript, you need to have a VBScript engine
installed on the server. You can either get this by installing IE (and the
newer the version of IE, the newer the script engine) -or- you can download
and install the script engine separately:

Windows Script (VBScript and JScript) v5.6 can be downloaded separately
here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp

To clarify, the need for VBScript engine to be installed on the server has
nothing to do with what the client ultimately sees (which is just HTML, CSS,
Javascript etc that your ASP pages output).

Cheers
Ken
