I'm setting up a new website for a client and they run their own server - IIS 4. They want a couple email forms on the site for requesting quotes etc. In the past I've always used my own custom scripts. I don't have that option here and I've never worked with IIS before in regards to online forms.
Any IIS experts out there willing to shed some light on this?

No expert but there is really nothing difficult about working with forms on IIS. The path to Perl is about the only thing you will have to edit with most scripts. Alternatively if you have some good form scripts that you are happy with why not use them, they don't have to be on the IIS server.

oh - should point out - no cgi-bin to play with. :( From what I understand, it's a bare bones install of the server.

You can use CDO to do email on IIS4. I think you need to have Exchange going, but I'm not sure. A tutorial can be found here: [msdn.microsoft.com...]
Alternatively, you can use a mail component such as Flicks OCXMail. You can learn more about it at: [flicks.com...]
