Hmmm, that sounds quite interesting Adam.

I was originally thinking of the way that it's done in OpenERP in their 
"Survey" module but just looking at it again that's rather a rudimentary 
approach :-(

I'm a big fan of a Joomla! extension called Fabrik[1]. It's really an 
application builder that let's you do some very cool things. But I'm not 
sure that a vtiger extension would need to be so comprehensive and I 
really want the form to be "in vtiger" - a bit like the way the 
ModComments comments block gets displayed in Detail view I guess...

Cheers
