Access 2007 supports two types of form: HTML forms and InfoPath forms. Generally speaking, you'll want to use an HTML form because almost any e-mail user can read and use this type of form.
InfoPath forms, on the other hand, require that all users have both Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 installed on their systems.
Click the radio button next to the HTML form option and click the Next button to continue.
