Does anyone have any voting code?

[mattpearcey]

I want to send out a HTML based email top my collegues that contains a form of tick boxes. These tick boxes are areas of interest/activities. I want them to be able to submit there prefered options and for them to come back to me, or go direct into a database in a lump hit, so that all we get to see is the results of the vote. Instead of having each response come back to my email address and then have to count up how many people chose option A.

Does anyone have any code that could do this, or ideas/sites where i can figure this out?



Thank you for your help already.

If you're using Outlook you can include Voting Buttons within the email, by choosing Options, Use Voting Buttons

Not anywhere near as flash as what I think you're looking for, but in the absence of other replies I thought you might appreciate this.

If you do decide to proceed with this method, you will receive an email back for every reply with their answer in the subject line. You can define the text for the buttons within the Options dialog box (if necessary - some popular choices are included, like Yes/No) by using this "code" - option;option2;option3.

You could even create a Rule to send all replies of a certain type to a folder within Outlook.

Hi mattpearcey, this is relevantly easy in FP. You could create a standard form with option butons in FrontPage (there is a page template for this). The results of the form could be sent to a database (an option in the form properties) then you could use the 'Database Results Wizard' to show the results of your voting as it progresses. Hope this helps.

If you can help, GREAT
If I can help, EVEN BETTER
