When I run the following ASP email script I get error. I am sending the script and error messege both. Please help me as soon as possible as I am a fresher at ASP scripting.

The script:-

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>

<body>

<%
Option Explicit

Dim objNewMail

' First create an instance of NewMail Object
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

' After an instance of NewMail Object has been created.
' If you like you can use this one line of code to send the mail.
' objNewMail.Send From, To, Subject, Message
' or you can give every value seperate

objNewMail.From = "webmaster@devasp.com"
objNewMail.To = "test@devasp.com"

' Please replace the "From" and "To" email addresses with your
' own valid email address. I recieve too many emails
' from people who test this sample and keep sending
' emails to test@devasp.com, or they keep the "From" property
' as webmaster@devasp.com and I get response of
' undeliverable emails.
' NOTE: If the "To" or "From" properties of CDONTS contain
' invalid email address you will not recieve the email.

objNewMail.Subject = "This is a test Mail"
objNewMail.Body = "This is the Body text of this test mail."
objNewMail.Send

' After the Send method, NewMail Object become Invalid
' You should set it to nothing to relase the memory

Set objNewMail = Nothing

' If you want to send another mail
' you have to create a new instance of NewMail Object again.

Response.Write "Email has been sent"

%>
</body>

</html>


The error message:-

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0400)
Expected statement
/calendar/email2.asp, line 11
Option Explicit

Option Explicit must be the first thing declared in the asp file. That goes above everything else including the html.

LMAO..... how many of us fell into this trap at the beginning? We were prolly just as confused as this guy!
