Karen, I worked on a committee for a year to create a survey something like you need. We didn't use words like "EDI-capable," because they don't really answer the question you want answered, which is, will you do EDI with us?
Why not ask a multiple choice? (1)Is EDI used in your operation? (a) Yes (b) No - we plan to implement it in the next year (c) No - we are considering implementing EDI (d) No - We are not considering EDI at this time. (e) Not familiar with EDI If they answer yes, direct them to the next question - Please send me the contact information for your EDI crew. If they answer no, put them in a stack to contact at a later time, or send the contacts to me and I'll work the list for you. For the "yes" crowd, you may want them to say what standards/versions they support, what communications avenues they utilize, what transactions they trade. But most important is the contact information.

I need an idea to get started. We have a bunch of customers overseas and I need to find out if they're EDI-capable, which transactions they currently trade, how experienced they are, etc. I started with an Excel spreadsheet, then switched to a Word document, then couldn't decide on the wording ("If you are EDI-capable, which transactions... But if you're not EDI-capable, do you plan..."), then dumped it all 'cause it was a hodge-podge mess. Once I get it together, I'd be happy to post it in the files area for others to adapt.
