How to insert functioning checkbox in email?

[sheree]

Is there a way in Outlook 2000 to insert a checkbox into an email? We'd
like to have 2 checkboxes in the email for the replier to check (or not)
and send the information back to us. Is this possible? If not
natively, are there any addins that can make this work?
Thanks for your help!

No, not possible unless you're working in an Exchange environment where you
can use centrally published forms.

You could use voting buttons. When creating an email to
send click on the OPTIONS button on the toolbar. In the
voting buttons field type the option buttons that you
want displayed separated by semi-colons. You will not
see them - only recipients will see them. You can get a
tally of all votes by going to your sent items folder and
opening the item. There will be a tracking tab with the
results.

Once created and sent the recipient will see the buttons
in the top left part of the email. Unfortunately some
recipients won't notice them. Send a practice one to
yourself first. Of course this will only work if you
are doing this in an exchange environment.

Voting buttons are indeed a good solution, but they work only if the
recipent is using Outlook.
