I'm looking for a way to distribute a Word document so that when it is
first opened, the user is presented with a form that they must
complete (name, company, email, phone, etc). When they compete the
form it then automatically hits a webserver and logs the data (or send
an email if this can be done in the background with out user
intervention or having a user cancel it. It doesn't have to be fool
proof but, 95% of the users should not be able to defeat it (meaning
view the doc without registering).  Also, I'm assuming this will use
VBA or macros, if the user has this turned off, they should get an
error, or be asked if they want to turn it on (and of course, not be
able to get to the doc unless they register).  The answer could be a
sample doc (preferred) or a website referral with explanation (as long
as it is clear).  Thanks. MO.

I think what you're looking for can be done in the latest version of
Adobe Acrobat - there are certainly document tracking/ "phone home"
capabilities - and this would have the advantage of being usable on a
wider variety of platforms (OS, etc) than a Word file. Downside might
be the cost of Acrobat.
