How to Create a Form in Outlook 2007 for recipients to complete and send to me via email

I am going to send mass emails through Microsoft Word 2007 Email Merge Option.  I want in the body of the email for email recipients to be able to send me certain required information.  They would do that when see they see a link in the body of the email and when clicking on a link, I want a form to come up on their screen.  In the form they would fill the following information:

Owner Email Address:

Administrative Contact Name:
Administrative Contact Email Address :

Emergency Contact Name:
Emergency Contact Email Address:

And they have the option to check "No changes are necessary"

When they click on "Send" button on the form, an email would be sent to me and the email body would include information they filled in the form.

Is it possible to have a Macro that would perform the above request.

I have Microsoft Outlook 2007.

Thank You

There is nothing you can do that I know of that will meet this requirement.  How the recipients mail client treats an incoming mail is user specific and I would not want an email client that allowed a sender to run code on my machine!

Chris,

How about a form embedded in the body of the email.  So that they see the form in front of them, then they fill it out and click send, which will also be in the body of the email.

Would that work?

Thanks,

You can for example fill the HTML body with a table and request they reply .. but again if their client does not include the received mail text then the table would not be received.

If however you want to proceed in the hope they include they original in their reply then we can have a go.

Chris,

Ok try.

Thanks
Can you give a representative example of how the table should look because it will have to be generated and it's not something I would want to do too many times

Hi Chris,

I just want it one column, listed as above:

Owner Email Address:

Administrative Contact Name:
Administrative Contact Email Address :

Emergency Contact Name:
Emergency Contact Email Address:

I also would like for them to have the option to check "No Changes are necessary"

Then they would click on a link to send me the above information only
APologies been distracted.  I'll try and have a go at generating a table as part of an HTML mail body in the morning

Chris - can you not create a template using Outlook and use that?  Or at least use that to generate the HTML needed?
