How do I create button on a form to send out to multiple users such that the users will receive the same form?

1. Create a Lookup Document form with following fields: LookUpKeyword, LookUpCategory, LookUpDescription, LookupField1-5 (depends on how many you like) and a Body RichText field (body of the email and button)on it. Create a LookUpView displaying LookUp Documents sorted by LookupKeyword.
2. Compose the actual lookup document. The body field should contain the actual email that your program will send with the button (HotspotButton).  This document will serve as your template
3. In the hotspot button, @Command([Compose]; server : database ; "YouReplyForm")
4. Create a program to get the mail Body from the lookup document and send it.

cezarF is generally correct.

A few caveats.

1)Are you worried about them creating more than one document per user ?

2) WIll they be allowed to go back and edit or make changes ?

If yes to either one, you will first need to search the DB by user name to see if they already have a document, and open it in Edit mode rather than creating a new one.

Other option is to send them back via email a link to their own document, after it has been saved in the DB.

I did something similar for an Internal Survey Db.

I hope this helps !

Here's what I've done in the past, and it's worked great for me!

First, you'll want a database that stores your "responses" - this will be where all of the actual work is done - so you'll want your forms, any views you want to display to the user, etc.

Next, you'll create a dummy local mail database.  Modify the DB preferences to allow the use of stored forms in the database.  Now modify the Memo form to do the following:

On the QueryOpen, check the current user's name (the opener) and see if they have a document that needs completion in the other database.  If so, immediately open that form.  If not, return a message saying "Thanks - you're already finished" or whatever.  Return False and exit (don't open the memo in the UI.

What you've basically done is send a user-sensitive "quicklink" to your inteded recipients which will allow them to immediately access the content that you want them to without relying on them opening the email, clicking on a link, etc. OR worrying about an embedded editor or anything like that.

If you are doing it with DocLinks, you will need three documents in the originating system instead of one.  One way around this would be when the user clicks the link, he sees an empty survey with a button that says "click here to start filling in this survey." CLicing that button actually creates a new survey document, so that the SAVED version is unqieue to each user.
