Im not sure if this is what you need, but there are system tables in SQL that can provide this info.
e.g.
Code:
select name, colid from syscolumns where id = object_id('[COLOR=#f00]YOUR VIEW NAME[/color]') order by colid

Provides you a list of column names in the order they are defined.
 
This can become tricky. Will your form change meaning that the number of inputs etc will increase or decrease, or will you have a static number of inputs and just need to change the label text?
