i made a sample ASP form intend to send information thru email submission. But when the submit button was click an error pop up message:
"either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
im using the Win XP Internet Information Services by the way.i wanted to use IIS as the default mail server since im just starting to explore ASP.
i have the faintest idea to do this,hope somebody could help me.thanks in advance...

Hi, joan_0618. Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

This really has nothing to do with IIS. This is an issue of your browser not having a default email client configured.
