[AccessD] Emailing Form Data

Thanks William.  I'd like to lean more towards the 1st suggestion, as
allowing access to a website is not in the client's scope for the
current project.
As I'm a complete novice to JavaScript, and HTML in general, do you have
any examples of attaching a csv file to an HTML form?

Thanks again.

...everyone has a browser ...export the data to a csv ...attach an html
form 
using the csv as source with js ...they update the data and send it back

...you dump the form and import the csv file directly into your tables 
...write once, use forever.

...you could post the form to a web site tied to an mdb and have them
just 
update it ...then you dl the data and do what you will ...or just a
plain 
old form submit if the data is only a few records
