i would highly recommend that you "roll your own" survey instead of relying on the pre-packaged variety. i have run over 4 web based surveys (n =200 - 800/survey) and found that you can do wonders with a smart undergraduate who knows perl and html. all my surveys were password protected and generated unique id's for the participants. it is then a trivial task to create a comma seperated values file that can be inputted into any database or stats package. you can even create a reports page that would give upto date summary statistics on the data. hth, karim Quoting Berquist@uts.cc.utexas.edu:
A few months ago, there was some discussion about online surveys--particularly regarding methodology and design. My question is more practical--can anyone
recommend software to design a web-displayed survey that will easily capture
data into a backend database? I've looked at SPSS Data Entry (TM), but would
like to receive recommendations from others who have completed web-based surveys and are pleased with the software they have worked with.
