I haven't worked with the survey by e-mail yet, but as far as I'm aware,
you're essentially creating a form that can populate the database. You
design the form for the "proper application" (so that the questions are
NOT field names) and distibute that form.

This looks good, however the recipients of the survey wont have Access
on
their computers. I liked the functionality to collect data through
email
since the recipients would only need to have an html supported email.

Is there some type of workaround to have longer questions (greater than
64
characters) while using this new function in Access 2007?

Thanks.

Having the question as a field name would be wrong!

I want to use the collect data via email functionality in access to
gather
simple answers to survey questions. My problem is that the survey
questions
are too lengthy (150 characters) and I can't get access to let me use
the
question as the field name in my table or as the label to display in
front
of
the field in the email message.

Is there a way to get around this (infopath is not an option)?

Thanks
