I am in the early stages of a research project involving computer based
psychological testing. This takes place at a variety of 'satellite' centres,
with the usual dogs dinner IT facilities. I can't make any assumptions about
the systems other than they will be Win boxes with email. I want to send
test results once completed to the head of the research project at Liverpool
University.
I have seen some stuff from Sjoerd and Richard G (I think) on this list that
suggested to me that I might be able to attach to an e-mail a password
protected stack. Thus the satellite standalone would only administer
assessments, and the 'master' standalone at the uni would aggregate and
analyse results held within them. I am not too worried that an evil person
with Metacard (do such exist?) might intercept and open the stack, because
the data would not be directly associated with an individual, and would
simply consist of arrays of numbers. It would make no sense without the
'master' standalone.
I know there might be clever ways to do this better, but can I script a
'mailto' button in the satellite standalone to not only address and complete
a subject field, but also attach a file or files (in this case results
stack(s))?
TIA

PS I now have a full licence! I feel like a goldfish tipped out of a bowl
into the sea. Ak. No. That doesn't work does it? A goldfish isn't marine.
OK, you know that bit in Free Willy....?
