VB.net Outlook body - table that can be filled out on all devices

Hi
What html would I use in the body of an email to send a simple table that is 10 columns wide
and 10 rows deep so that a user of any device can fill out and send back to me?
Thanks

Not all email clients will present and allow editing into an HTML table. Particular on mobile devices.

Why not create an Excel spreadsheet and email that out? The excel file can be easily emailed out to people, most devices support it. You can include validation and such within it.

You could also easily create a Google Form, which will display nicely on most devices. The form could write to a Google Spreadsheet. You can email a hyperlink to the form. And having responses in a spreadsheet is already half the work done for you
