Create a Survey

[Mail Merge Help]

Hi

I would like to create a survey where I can email the link out to people to
conduct a survey. The result of the survey is automatic transfer to the
database which can be tallies at a later time.

Can Access do this? if yes, Could anyone show me how?

I read on the Access website on Sample Table Design to Support Questionnaire
Applications but it doesn't help much.

Thank you very much for your time to read this.

This isn't really something that Access can do, since you must have Access
installed in order to run an Access application.

Hi Douglas

Is there a table structure that I can follow.

With the nonrelational table design as below

Respondent ID (Primary key)
Question 1
Question 2 - --- Question n.

If my question is two long, it won't fit.

But if I have the Relational Table design which is simplier
Respondent ID (Primary key)
Question ID (Primary Key)
Response

But I don't know how to creat a survey form for this table.

Could you please point me to the right direction.

Thanks
Hong

Take a look at Duane Hookom's "At Your Survey" for an example of a
well-designed survey application.

For Access 97:

For Access 2000 and newer:

Porting At Your Survey to the web would take some fancy ASP or other
language. I've been asked many times about a web version but I work mainly
with ColdFusion which isn't as universal as ASP is.
