Forms handler

Sorry for the spelling

We have instructors traveling about the country. At the end of the course
the students fill out a survey (it is paper today).

Our classes are about connectivity so the hot ticket is that the survey
could be completed on-line.

The questions are:
Do I need a server to handle forms?
Is there software that can used in place of a server?
Can Windows 2000 Pro be configured to handle forms?

Thanks

Depending on the what the survey contains, if may be possible to just use the FP Form Handler with
the FP Database components and store in a Access database (windows server required)
Can Windows 2000 Pro be configured to handle forms?

Yes, however the IIS server that comes with Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro only support 10
simultaneous connections, and that is all requests that a browser makes to the web server, not
number of users, in other words, 1 users could use all 10 connections. You need use a Windows based
web hosting service.
