E-mail surveys

[kleivakat]

Is there a way in Outlook (or any other Office product), to send out a survey
to a recipient (updating contact info) where they can simply respond to the
survey and e-mail it back without having to download a file, answer, then
attach and re-send? I know I have received surveys in Outlook e-mail when I
was with a previous employer where I could simply answer in the e-mail and
"reply".

I would like to send individual contact information to 300-400 recipients.
I could either add their info into the e-mail (maybe through mailmerge) and
ask them to review, update and reply, or I could send a blank form so that
they need to fill out all the info again.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

For internal recipients in an Exchange environment, you can use an Outlook form published to the Organizational Forms library. For external recipients, Outlook isn't suitable.

The latest Office product to offer forms capability is InfoPath, but I don't think it will help you with external contacts either.
