Depending on what types of questions you may want to display, there are
applications already available that can do this. (One written by yours
truly). But yes, you can do what you want. You just have to program it.
1) define the db format that describes your 'form', 2) write the app to read
the form and display the info 3) write your conduit and app to display the
data (don't forget the app to create your 'form' data)
Whew! It might be easier to just buy someone else's software that already
does this. ;-)
