Yes. It'll work just like as Web Application. The body of the email contains an HTML page. Clicking a button on that page posts the response back to your web server, exactly like any WebForms app. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Yes. But not always and not every (web) email client supports them nowadays for fear of Web-Bugs. The best bet would be send a plain text email with an hyperlink so that the user can visit the website and submit the data. There are advantages to this approach: (*) Avoiding phishing websites. (*) Avoiding or Minimizing WebBugs in emails. (*) Smaller Sized email messages. (*) More Secure Messages Vasudevan Deepak Kumar Personal Web: http://www.lavanyadeepak.tk/ I Blog At: http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/weblog/deepak/
