I think the question would be how to do the form to begin with. I think CF could make anything happen (may require a java program or a Custom Tag or something) but I don't know that there's a simple way to make outlook forms. Just put some time into figuring out how to create an outlook form and then try to transition into how to make CF do it.

This is cool, doesn't require the users to login to an pp to apporve of stuff, just check something, add a note, a mash send. Oh, nothing to install on client at all. Was wondering if anyone did this via CF at all. Maybe reg a few dlls and able to do this via cfobject or something.
