That usually means that the object hasn't been installed on the server you're trying to create it from or you're object reference is incorrect.

when in asp you must use server.createobject

Set myMail=Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")

well.... all the errors that i was coming across have finally been resolved!

now i would like to ask one more thing...
is there a way i can send emails to anyone with a webpage in the email - like the newsletters that one gets often. i should just need to specify the URL in the script and it should show that URL to whosoever the mail was sent. i know how to send HTML in the mail that is with HTMLBody but what I would like to know is to how to send HTML pages in emails.
this way, i can send emails without having to change script everytime - i will just need to update the page which is being sent.
help!

yes,
make an html template and use the file system object to read the html text of that template to a stream and save it as a string. use that string as the body of the email.
