Client specifically wants Outlook to open
It sounds to me like maybe the client is specifying the wrong tool for the job. What it sounds like they want is a web application which the user completes an online form, and, based on the achieved score, that result is returned to a specific email address. There is a functional requirement to verify the sender (user of the web form) and a certain level of security.
Ideally, this sounds more like something which should be put together using ASP/VBScript, PHP, or .NET, running on a webserver which has the mailserver enabled. Since you mentioned students, the "gateway" into the web app could be another app (like an LMS or other people system) which passes (via POST) the user's credentials (email address for sure, name optional). When the form is completed, the results could be returned automatically to the recipient email.
Thanks for your help Joseph. All of my projects up until now have been published to our LMS, this is the first to be published to web, so I knew I would hit a few walls.
As the project is an alcohol questionnaire, only those who score within a certain margin would be directed to contact a counsellor/service. I have not yet passed information via the LMS in any of my projects, would it be possible to trigger that function in storyline if the student scores in that margin? or would that be down to the LMS?
Sorry for all the questions but your help has really cleared things up.
Thank you.
