You haven't said anything about what you'd like such a form to do, nor in what mail server and Outlook environment. Without that informaton, it's impossible to say whether an Outlook form is even a good solution for the job.

You might consider using the spreadsheet control in your form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/spreadsheetcontrol.htm . You will, however, need permission to publish forms to the Organizational Forms library in order to make it work. Note, also that if you go with an Outlook custom form, you'll also have to write the code to produce a printout looking the way you want it to. Have you thought about using InfoPath?
