[AccessD] Transfer data from email to Access

Hi Susan

" .. but that restricts the sender to using" Word. That isn't much better.

Access 2007 has an in-built feature for this:

Perhaps someone has gained some experience with this?

Last summer I wrote an article on using Word forms to collect and transfer 
data to an Access database.

You don't really need to read the article to answer the following question, 
but thought I'd include the link just in case.

A reader wants to collect the data using a Word form and then send the form 
via Email and transfer to Access on the other end.

I don't think this is the right technique for that type of venture. First, I 
thought using an Outlook custom form would be easier, but that restricts the 
sender to using Outlook. Please don't suggest a .NET form -- if this reader 
knew .NET, he wouldn't be asking for help.

Any suggestions?
