Re: Form Question

Short answer, with probably less than 30 seconds of thinking ...

A web page form requires backend server scripting to function, be it a Perl 
script, ASP, PHP, etc.  Without it, the web page form does not work.  So 
if  you don't have a live Internet connection to the server, forget it.  :)

... Unless, of course, you install server software on your laptop and make 
it a standalone server.

You asked. :)

OTOH, you could create a simple Excel an/or Access form on the laptop and 
save all data (records) to a simple Excel/Access database.  That way you 
would have all the required information you need in electronic format.
