Ok, that's one of the more pointy-haired suggestions I've heard in
awhile.  You can't spend money, you can't load free software, and you
can't connect to the internet.  That severely limits your options.

Ok.. some more details here.  You can't connect to the internet, how are
you going to e-mail forms anywhere?  It'd be very simple to do in perl,
but that would require A) installing perl on the laptops or B) connecting
to the internet.
