Database Software (form entry)

Trying to look for a software I can use so I don't have to do this from scratch:

Basically need to enter Data on a form (6 fields, all text) and then have that form entered to a database that can then be retrieved and reviewed. This needs to be able to be hosted in the cloud or on Intranet so that everyone on the network can access the form and do the data entry as needed.

Has anyone heard of anything like this?
 
There are multiple Browser data entry packages; You need to determine where the back end will be and the data storage.

An experienced person in an hour, can write a simple user interface program to accept data, validate it and write it to a DB anywhere on your internal network.

there should also be tools out there so an inexperienced person can use a browser or hook up a front end to a SQL database. MYSQL is one that is free
 
You can also use Google forms to do this as well. They are simple to setup and collect data. Then use tables or graphs to interpret data.

I looked at that but I'm so rusty on setting up a DB from scratch it'd take a while to relearn what to do/make it look professional. This was one of those requests that I got at 3:45pm with a "we want it implemented next week". Fun Fun.

Thanks for that! Didn't know about Google Forms. I'm actually now trying to decide on that or Wufoo.com. Appreciate the tip!
 
The DB is not what needs to look professional.

The UI is what the end user sees and the big shots use to evaluate your work.
