One of the projects I work on is called a quarterly bonus. I have a bunch of names in an excel spreadsheet. I would like to put this on the web. I want to create a form where the user can select YES or NO if the person should receive a bonus. I want this to be e-mailed to me. Is this possible? I've been trying to figure this out on my own...but no luck

ghoover,

Is your server Unix or NT? If it's NT you can use ASP and just use request.form("field name") to get the values from the bonus form and then format it and send it to yourself using CDONTS.

If you're using a Unix server you should probably use a CGI script to do this. I'm not a CGI expert so I can't really comment on this but I know there are TONS of examples out there.

The third option would be using javascript and have the form call itself. This would be a little tricky since it's easier to create a mail session on the server, but it is possible.

If you would like an example in ASP let me know.

Later,
PJ
