John,
If you don't want a response page, I think you will have to employ Ajax.
How you do that with email would be a good question. But I know that MS
created Ajax originally for emails. I have used it in web apps and you can
read about it at dBase http://www.dbase.com/ajax_and_dbase.html see my post
in this news group on 2/12/2007 "An Ajax Update" for more info.
Heck I still have problems inserting line breaks in an email created from
within dBase!!!

I am trying to build an "approval" system that rides on emails. More
specifically, I want to send an e-mail that has two "links" on it,
perhaps even behind HTML buttons that would launch a dBase web app and pass as
parameters the response, userID and questionID. I do not want to have a web
page open up unless completely necessary (or to confirm the vote). The server
program would simply register the response.
The piece that I need help with is the email creation and insertion/creation of
the voting links. These would certainly follow the question, and even could be
extended to solve expense report approvals, etc ...
Thanks in advance.

Funny you should mention that - please see my post under "How To" -
what have you employed to advance to lower lines using a Subject string?

John,
I had read that posting.
Acutally I generate my email messages from the web page (.html) with
javaScript code
window.location="mailto:"+cSendTo+"?subject="+cSubject+&quo
t;&body="+cBody;
but have not been able to get it to accept line feeds or carriage returns

Here's a potential call ...
http://your.server/folder/postVote.exe?Q=1234&Res='YES'&User='555'
Can one suppress a response page?
