I would like to create a form in FP that allows for user interaction. This
is for an Intranet and this is how it should work:

A user fills out a portion of a form, then forwards to another user (this
user varies),
the second user then fills out the second portion of the form and forwards
it to the first user.

Is there a way this can be done, will keeping the form format? Will I need
to utilize a database for this?
 
This is a programming task and not something you can do using FrontPage
alone. Workflow is always a tricky thing to accommodate.

Yes, you will need some place to store the data in the mean time. A database
is my first choice, but you can even store info like this in a file, if you
have a means of making sure the file location is sent to the next person in
the workflow.

FYI
A custom DB / server side solution would work, but if it is an Intranet what you are trying to do (workflow control) is probably
best done with Infopath
