Ok what I am needing to do is create a form that users can type into and save it and then email the form. A web app might work not sure.
I tried in acrobat, but for them to save it and email everyone needed acrobat to do this. Not very cost effective.
Any suggestions? Or insight? I can not create a web form alone so I would prefer some application like word.
Also I was doing this in word but I needed to put text boxes everywhere and this creates a problem for users to fvck it all up.
Thanks,

You can use Word, and insert form fields where you want them to type info, then password protect the file. Users will be able to type into the form boxes, but not alter anything else.

It's really easy to create a form using HTML and email the form using a server-side language like Perl or PHP...

I've never done it, but doesn't Outlook support some kind of forms? If you all have Outlook anyway, you might consider looking into that. It's designed for exactly such type of apps.
