And their happy with whatever work is involved by doing it via email.

I don't have to nothing but send the email, but just wanted to see if their was some 
way of getting it done in the email as they want it. Maybe I did not make this very 
clear in my previous emails?
I was just checking! ;-))

Taco,

That's a big "If".... If you really are *that* time strapped why not 
just link to a blank form where they fill their information in the 
blanks and then it just emails you a dump of the form struct?

IMO this not worse for usability but in fact much better.... how many 
people have filled in online forms on a webpage, and how many have 
followed a neat structure in an email? Hell, I haven't never followed a 
neat structure in an email.

It least with you a form you have a consitent format... Add a wee bit of 
qForm javascript validation (or cfform) then at least your data entry 
person can sleep at night.

cmon Taco, you can't call urself a g33k unless you do a little bit of 
coding!....  :-)
