email an executable form in the body not as an attachment

[rudyeb]

I am trying to learn if the following can be done:

I want to email a form to anyone I choose and the form comes as part of my email body. For example:
Please enter here how many will be attending __.

The receiver of the email would have a drop down that gives them the choices they would need.
Upon completion, they would click a SUBMIT button and the form would reply back to me with their email address and the number attending.
I don't want the form to be an attachment as the receiver might be leery of opening it as I would be.

Is there coding that would do this?

Thank you,

not from within access as such that I am aware of - certainly wouldn't be an access form. suggest you investigate how outlook does it's 'meeting accepted' email which sounds like it has the sort of functionality you require.

This is one of those 'If you have to ask, you probably can't do it' ones.

Yes it is possible, but it's going to require HTML coding and server side scripting--php or asp. You construct the form using HTML, then upon submission it sends the data to a web script that handles it appropriately (writes it to database). How good are you with HTML? PHP/asp? Have a webserver available to host the script?

Thank you Plog for your reply. You are 100% correct that I can't do it. Would you possibly consider doing it for me for a fee or direct me to someone who might?
