adding e-mail system (for web based tracking system)

Hi,

I am currently developing a final year project which is a web based
tracking system tracking exam questions. I am using IIS as the
server, MS access for the database, and ASP with VBScript for the
scripting side of things.


One of the things I want to do would be to e-mail a user/moderator
whenever a exam question is edited/completed/updated. does anyone have
any previous expierence in this? i don't even know where to start.

Start here, but do not expect us to do your projects.
[In fact, the use of Google and alike should be known to you enough to have
