I have been asked to find an alternative to conducting
satisfaction surveys by paper and mail using either our Intranet or remote VPN. My knowledge is limited in this area as I am only a novice web designer and don't know much about databases. Is this possible to do??? Any suggestions?

Yes, it is possible! I have done just that -- using MS Access, ASP, and JavaScript.
You will need a familiarity with HTML, Access (or other database), SQL, JavaScript, and ASP (or ASP.Net).
There is not enough space here to go into detail, so I suggest you search the net, and consult books on the subject. It is also helpful to consult a knowledgeable person in your area, if you can find one.
Good Luck.

A survey back ended by a database sounds like a perfect plan for gathering the information. What you would have is a web based front end for the user to interact with and the input of the pages would then be stored in the database. Exactly how the data is stored depends on the implementation. ASP.NET uses ODBC connections (might have others...I'm more of a Java developer so only know a little about this method) and JSP would use a JDBC connection or beans with EJBs in the application server.

Yes its totally feasible.
You should begin by designing a database to hold your data. The database design should give you flexibility in querying your data later.
Then you design your web page to allow web admins to publish new surveys and public users to answer surveys.
The administration pages should allow web admins to define new surveys. A survey consists of a collection of questions and answers. The admin pages should also allow the display of data entered by public users.
You will need pages to display surveys for public users.
