  ASP Form Mail - Add Date & Time to Email Body?  nessworks at 22:42 on Friday, August 03, 2007
 

First and Foremost I apologize for being a Newb!

I recently set up a basic online formmail ASP page using a Free tutorial on the web by (c) www.sortedsites.com

I was able to complete the process and have tested succesfully.

I would like to add Date & Time to the e-mail body but I am struggling.
There are great links on the web, including this site for ASP TIME and DATE but I keep running into errors when I try to incorporate into my formmail.asp page.


Here is the asp file. Any help is greatly appreciated.
