Word Form in body of E-mail

J

Jeff Byrd

I think this might be the correct group for this issue.

I am using Word 2003 and Outlook 2003.

I need to E-mail forms from Word that are mail merged with data from an
Access database. I want them to be easily filled out to encourage a greater
response.

I am trying to e-mail a Word form, in the body of the e-mail, not as an
attachment, that the recipient can hit Reply and fill out, cllick on check
boxes and send back to me. My problem is that when they hit reply and try
to fill it out they can't Tab between fields and as they enter information
they change the entire form.

They merge works well but I need them to be able to fill out the form.

Any Ideas?

Outlook doesn't support the scenario you describe. You might need to send the Word documents as attachments.

I have recieved e-mails that have forms to fill out with radio buttons,
cecheck boxes and comment boxes. Any idea what they are using to compose
these messages?

Could be custom Outlook forms or forms created with an HTML editor and posting back to a web site.
