Yes, I am sending you an example offline Regards, Jim Hale -----Original Message----- From: Boyd, Mark Thomas (US - Philadelphia) [mailto:mboyd at deloitte.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 9:11 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Emailing Form Data Thanks Jim. This sounds like a very logical approach. I can handle the Access code for automating the email each week, but am a bit foggy on the timer routine. Any way of sending sample code?? Thanks.

I usually create a hidden sheet in the template linked to the user input form. This is the sheet I read back into the database. 2) Populate the individual templates with an Access routine 3) Automatically email the workbook to users 4) Have the users email the completed workbook back to you. 5) I have an attachment save addin in Outlook that saves attachments to a specified directory. 6) Have an Access form with a timer routine that periodically reads all files in the save directory and loads the data from the workbook into Access. The routine renames the files and moves them to a completed directory HTH Jim Hale -----Original Message----- From: Boyd, Mark Thomas (US - Philadelphia) [mailto:mboyd at deloitte.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 7:55 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Emailing Form Data Thanks Drew. I agree that posting a web page would ideal, but I don't have access to a web server, or even a file sharing server for that matter. I am at a client site, with limited resources. I'm starting to think that just sending an Excel file for the user to update should meet our needs.

Fairly easy to do in asp. Just a thought.
