Displaying the answer to one question in the text of a subsequent question is called answer piping. For example, on the first page of your survey, you might have a question that asks the user for his/her name. On a subsequent page, you would like to begin a question using the respondent's name. This is accomplished by piping the answer from the first question into the desired location on the second page.

To set up answer piping, simply insert a pipe token into the desired location in either the question text or subtext. The format for the token is ###xxx###, where xxx represents the ID of the item whose answer should be inserted in that location. To make this process as easy as possible, on the main page for modifying surveys (ModifySurvey.asp), there is a small "PIPE" button next to each question. Clicking on this button brings up a small window that contains the text of the token to use to pipe the answer to that question. Simply copy the token text, and then paste it into the desired location on any subsequent question. It is important to note that piped answers must always originate from an earlier page in the survey.
