urgent help: question reply buttons in email...

[faxof]

hello

although i'm a competent notes user and competent at scriping in other languages i have never scripted in notes.

i want to send an email to other users with four boolean questions.

i have got thus far:
when the user clicks yes or no (buttons that replace the answer1 - answer4 fields) it also shows a promt box with their answer, once they answer all 4 question they click submit, that sends me 4 emails with there answer in the subject fields.

rather than a promt box i would rather the answer appear next to their question as text.

is there a better way of doing the whole process (i can;t create a database i am just a normal user in the office)

any help is much appreciated

Have a look at the following database on Notes.net this should give you some sort of starting point. Take the database to your system administrator/developer and ask for help since this is a database template(.ntf)

Here's two suggestions. I'm assuming you have two buttons for each question, Yes and No. Instead of using buttons, Change the fields to Keyword, Radio, 2 columns. This will enable the user to see thier answer and change it.

Also Instead of sending four emails have your submit button to do a mailsend("your address";"";"";"Responses to survey";"";answer1+@newline+answer2+@newline+answer3+@newline+answer4)

You'll get one email with 4 lines of yes or no. You'll be able to create a view within your database to show "memo" where subject = "Responses to survey" with 4 columns, answer1, answer2,... you could also add name and date columns and such as needed.
