capturing data FROM a merge document
I am emailing an HTML document to people who attended a seminar we put
on last week. I am using WORD with data from an EXCEL spreadsheet as the merge source. The merge field I am interested in is called "EMAIL" and, to no one's surprise, is the recipient's email address. On this HTML document I have a hyperlink that sends the recpient to an HTML form located on our website where they are asked to complete a five question survey. I will have no problem capturing their responses; however, I also want to capture the email address of those who reply. How can I capture the email address that has been merged into the original HTML document? |

Just add the email as the querystring at the end of the url you generate
into the Word document. And have whatever script the url resolves to copy the email from the url into a form field. wrote in message oups.com...

How can I capture the email address that has been merged into the original HTML document?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I suppose I should have asked for the format for referencing the merge field. I have tried {MAILMERGE email}, EMAIL, etc. and I always get that string rather than the value. How do I reference the merge field? |
