Well, yes there is. Build your custom form from a message form,
specify Word as your editor, then you can paste any table from any word
document into the message area. A common thing that I do is paste
microsoft's KB articles from their web site into Word documents, so
that I can save them locally as docs. The web based documents make
extensive use of tables. I can also paste them into message forms.

Now, if you are talking about data tables, then there is a dataset
control that you can use in the toolbox.

Office version? A table in the item body? A table-like structure on a custom form page?

Table in custom form
 

Office xp and outlook xp.

I guess i should clarify what i'm trying to do; i'm trying to make an
inventory list, more like the excel tables than words, with columns
like NAME | PRICE | ID | PRICE.... and each time you fill out a row
another blank row shows up, and if possible you could add up all the
prices and that value can go back to another control.

What about the client and network environment? Does everyone have Excel installed? Is Exchange your mail server? Do you have permission to publish custom forms to the Organizational Forms library on the Exchange server?

I mistrust your typing. Did you really mean to say "without Exchange or
a server or excel installed" ? Do you have Word installed?

If you have set Word as your Email editor, you can do all those
functions with Word in your message, though new rows are added manually
using the menu. You can choose a style of table and can sum a column to
a total field in the table using a formula field set to =SUM(Above).
Then you just right-click the total field and choose update the field.

Beats trying to set this up from scratch.

You mistrust well, no i don't have excel or word installed. Is there a
way to do it without them?

That makes it a lot more difficult, to be sure. Certainly, using Word
as your editor is not possible. Unless it can be downloaded separately.
I will check in the back channels and report back.

Then what you want to do is pretty much impossible to do in an Outlook custom form, because dynamically adding additional fields requires a code solution, but once you add a field programmatically, then next time you open that item, it will no longer run any code.

Bottom line is that Outlook is not the right solution for what you want to do. Excel would be better.
