Reply Of Email

[victoria_1018]

I am currently doing a program related to sending of emails. The program goes like this.

There are 10 teams member in Team A. When any one of them in the team sends a quotation to Sales Department, a reply will be sent to replyquotation@xyz.com, and this xyz quotation consist of the whole of Team A(teamA@abc.com), members in the Sales Department (sales@xyz.com) and the manager (manager@xyz.com). The above verification is done in front page form verification.

However, the problem I am facing now is as Team A is expanding and will be splitting into sub-teams, For the replying part, can I change the change by instead of replying to the whole team A, just simply reply to the member in team A who send the mail, eg. (teammember1@abc.com), for the sales department and manager remain unchanged.

I had tried many ways and read up information related to this and I don¡¦t get a specific answer. What is the easiest way to have it done as my knowledge in program is still too fresh. I am using some ASP and a bit of Java Script in the program, the rest are generated in front page itself.

Thanks
Regards

maybe you have to manage the team,sub-team,manager,sale department in a database by some searching key........

Actually, as alumi999 said, your best bet to do this us using relational databases - don't let that scare you though!

If you go to:

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/backend/databases/

and go through the tutorials, you'll see what I mean.

A year ago, databases were scary to me. Now I eat them for breakfast. :)

FrontPage (no offense to FrontPage diehards) really stinks... it basically makes you learn a proprietary scripting language to let FrontPage do all the "hard stuff" for you...

...but it doesn't teach you server-side scripting at all... and just like "proprietary" means, it has no relation to scripting languages where you have real control.

So when you want to do something that isn't readily learned in FrontPage (or maybe not possible), you're still on your own - and all that proprietary code you spent time learning is useless.

You're really better off ditching frontpage and learning how databases and server-side scripting works. :)


P.S. I'm not trying to dis FrontPage TOO much - after all they did a pretty good job with the Webbot stuff... but why learn that when you can learn something that you have complete control over?
