https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Email-with-Voting-Buttons/m-p/70962#M20459 Hi Guys,<BR /> <BR /> I am attempting to send an email which has voting buttons associated with it.<BR /> <BR /> The question asked will be:<BR /> <BR /> Do you use the "<I>Report Name From Dataset</I>" report?<BR /> <BR /> Can anyone think of a way that would allow me to do this?<BR /> <BR /> As the voting buttons are an Outlook function, I gather that I would somehow need to create code which initiates an outlook session and creates a message with the option buttons turned on.<BR /> <BR /> If this isn't possible, does anyone have experience with such an issue?<BR /> <BR /> Thank you.<BR /> Scott Thu, 25 Mar 2010 05:31:17 GMT Scottcom4 2010-03-25T05:31:17Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Email-with-Voting-Buttons/m-p/70962#M20459 Hi Guys,<BR /> <BR /> I am attempting to send an email which has voting buttons associated with it.<BR /> <BR /> The question asked will be:<BR /> <BR /> Do you use the "<I>Report Name From Dataset</I>" report?<BR /> <BR /> Can anyone think of a way that would allow me to do this?<BR /> <BR /> As the voting buttons are an Outlook function, I gather that I would somehow need to create code which initiates an outlook session and creates a message with the option buttons turned on.<BR /> <BR /> If this isn't possible, does anyone have experience with such an issue?<BR /> <BR /> Thank you.<BR /> Scott Thu, 25 Mar 2010 05:31:17 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Email-with-Voting-Buttons/m-p/70962#M20459 Scottcom4 2010-03-25T05:31:17Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Email-with-Voting-Buttons/m-p/70963#M20460 Start out by opening a web page (VIEW SOURCE) and interrogate the HTML tags and URL string (everything past the "http:" info) -- this information will need to be generated in an HTML-based EMAIL body. You will likely need to construct the HTML as part of a DATA step created in the body of an EMAIL.<BR /> <BR /> <BR /> Scott Barry<BR /> SBBWorks, Inc.<BR /> <BR /> Google advanced search argument, this topic/post:<BR /> <BR /> generate html email body site:sas.com Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:07:07 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Email-with-Voting-Buttons/m-p/70963#M20460 sbb 2010-03-25T13:07:07Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Email-with-Voting-Buttons/m-p/70964#M20461 In addition to Scott's suggestion, you might also want to check with your mail administrators to find out whether sending/receiving HTML in email is allowed. Some sites block out-going HTML and some block in-coming HTML messages and only allow plain text messages. (...which would defeat the purpose of building the HTML).<BR /> <BR /> cynthia Thu, 25 Mar 2010 14:31:06 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Email-with-Voting-Buttons/m-p/70964#M20461 Cynthia_sas 2010-03-25T14:31:06Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Email-with-Voting-Buttons/m-p/70965#M20462 Hi Scott,<BR /> <BR /> Thank you for your reply. I have attempted to do as you have suggested and the email get sent as I would expect, however I get no vote buttons.<BR /> <BR /> Do you have any other ideas?<BR /> <BR /> I can't send the code because it converts the HTML.
