Well, you can build this using zope (package zope or the newer zope2.7) and a database like mysql. Zope is basically a web server. You would need to make a database to contain the info you want to know from those surveys. Then use zope to create the necessary html forms for interaction with the database. For instructions see the zope book, package zope-book or on the web: http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/ specifically the chapter on relational databases: http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/RelationalDatabases.stx > Of course such software exists, but is there free software to do this? > And which is easiest to use by volunteers who are not computer geeks? Setting it up this way may be difficult, depending on your skills and your earlier experience with zope and databases. So you may want to hear other solutions. But when it works the volunteers only need to know how to use a web browser. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
