collect data via email
We're looking for solution to collect intake data from multiple agencies (not
on network), and get into our (currently 2003) Access database. With 2007, the 'EMail data collect' facility - can that collect and insert multiple rows with 1 email - or each email/form processes only 1 row..? thanks! don |

collect data via email
You will send a mail asking the user either to update a certain row or add
information to a new record. So in both situations you are tied to single row processing... Secondly you have two options to choose from. Plain html which will present the user with a html email with an embedded for where the user has to fill in the data. Disadvantage for this option.. not editable so you are stuck with what you get. The second choice is use an InfoPath form, advantage... you can edit it the way you like and design it the way you like. Disadvantage.. users need to have infopath to fill in the form send by you.. hth -- Maurice Ausum "nycdon" wrote: We're looking for solution to collect intake data from multiple agencies (not on network), and get into our (currently 2003) Access database.

collect data via email
- web based form
or - stand alone db you write that each user uses to enter data and it builds an email (with attachment). Central db uses db shared with web-based form or Central db reads email and processes using custom code. or something like accesstables.com Just some thoughts, -- Mark Andrews RPT Software http://www.rptsoftware.com http://www.donationmanagementsoftware.com "nycdon" wrote in message ...
