Hello everybody,I am knew to this stuff but was wondering if there was anyway that I could make a questionnaire that would automatically mail itself and the answers back to me?

Make the form > have it submit the input to a script > script process the data and sends it. If you know how to write HTML forms, create the questionnaire using the appropriate tags. If you don't, it's not hard to do. A web search will turn up lots of examples of how to do this.

The next part requires a script. You can either find a specific one to do this (try Hot Scripts (http://hotscripts.com)) or install a generic one that you can then use to process it and all the other forms you may need in the future. Form Tools (http://formtools.org) will do what you want, as well as store the data in a MySQL database for you and let you sort and export the data as well. It can process different forms for you, even ones from a different domain from where you install the script.
