I have this form. Basically what I want is to send a auto-response with a different URL based on what the user picks in the "attn" picklist. I've been thinking I could have a different
variable for each drop down value. It will then pass this
variable on to the mail script that will choose which URL to insert inside the auto response that is sent. It gives me a headache thinking about it sometimes. What's the easiest way to accomplish this?
Am I making more work for myself? I really don't know because I'm no programmer. Thanks in advance!
Here is the form:
