right then where do i begin , basically i want to create a email similar to a "parts request form" type of thing that i can send to somebody , they can then fill it in then email it back to me . similar to the "contact us" forms you get on websites but done just through email as i don't have any webspace , i have figured out how to get the return email to be addressed to me but cant get the form part to stay in the email and be editable (IE fill in the fields)

if that makes any sense to anyone have you any ideas ??

think you might be attempting the impossible mate, to take an order within the email itself you would have to display it as HTML and have some form of postback to a web server that supports at least CGI so that the collected information could then be emailed to yourself, even this is extremely crude and not very user friendly, although maybe with some Java script and such like you could jazz it up.

If I were you I would create your order form in something like excel and email it to the customer and get them to send it back

Yeah it is possible i did exactly this a few years ago at school but can't remember how i did it, it's do-able in notepad though.
