After asking on a tech forum I pop on now and then, a suggestion was made to check out MS InfoPath. It can create web forms that can populate databases. However, this is not super-duper straightforward. From the MS web site: Collecting form data with Web Forms If you want to collect data from users who do not have InfoPath, you can use ASP.NET to create a Web Form version of your form that users who do not have InfoPath can open and fill out. Web Forms can be filled out by using a Web browser, but they lack the rich features of an InfoPath form. To create a solution that uses both an InfoPath form and a Web Form version of the form, you must use the same XML Schema and XML Web services for both the InfoPath form and the Web Form. To do this, you should have a basic understanding of XML, XML Web services, XML Schemas, and ASP.NET. -- So yeah, it still is going to require some tech chops, but it's at least a step in the right direction....
