What I would like to see included in this course, would be a section covering the use of email to gather information. What I d like to be able to do, is send an e-mail with a form attached, that the recipient could fill out and return to me so that I could import it directly into access.
Reply from Richard Rost:
That's tough. Access can easily SEND mail using Outlook or Gmail (or any SMTP server) but to RECEIVE email is a whole different ballgame. You can use Access VBA to manipulate the contents of a folder in Outlook, so if enough people want to see it, I'll show how to do this. If not, I can make it a separate seminar. It's MUCH easier to set up a web form and submit the results that way. I can show both.
