I suggest you use a script to do this for you. All you would need is a porgramming language such as PHP and a database such as MySQL. Do yuo have these things?

If so, check out Polls and Voting PHP Scripts

hi darrelld for tutorials heres some from devarticles.com for creating poles in php and mysql http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/MySQL...-MySQL-Part-1/ http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/MySQL...-MySQL-Part-2/

or you could download a premade one from hotscripts.com if you ever want to expand into php and mysql http://www.devarticles.com and www.phpfreaks.com are two great sites for php and mysql tutorials. And these forums are great to get help with problems your having. That's how i learnt php and mysql from those sites.

Hope this helps

Viper

Thanks again.

your welcome darrelld learning php is actually quite easy. It took me a little longer than most to learn it with me i can't learn anything buy reading stuff i have to actually start coding myself to learn. So i just downloaded other peoples scripts and edited them for my liking untill i got good enough to start my own scripts. Now i can code just about anything in php and mysql my whole site is like a home made cms exept the forums. All the code is done buy me and all pages on my site exept the forums are editable in the admin cp that i created for my site.

You learnt very similar to me... I was fascinated by PHP so I downloaded some scripts and had a look at their code. I then used parts of their code to make my own scripts...

I used a poll program called Sympoll a while back. Real easy to use. I'm not sure of the website address.
