Can you post a copy of your form online at a location where I can have a look at it?

-- However, you could use C# to generate a web page and send the resulting HTML via Outlook. --

The answer depends on you knowing what email clients the recipients use. If they all use Outlook, then you can design a cutom Outlook form that'll do this. If they don't all use Outlook but do use a client that faithfully supports HTML (which rules out Outlook 2007), then you can design the survey in HTML and send it in the body of the message. The recipients will fill it out and click a submit button just as they would if they took the survey out at a web site. The key is knowing what client your target audience uses and knowing how well those clients support HTML standards.
