She had me take.....?

John: What were you doing when I called?

Adam: It's Mary's fault. She had me take/taking a survey(at the time), that's why I didn't pick up your call.

I'm not sure what we have to use; present simple or present continuous?

Thank you.

Use continuous: an ongoing event (the survey) during which a point event (the call) occurred.
