Question Collect Data using email Question

[newby2VBA]

I was looking at the Northwind database and in the customer list form there is a button to collect data via email. I want to add this to my project however before doing so I need this question answered. How do you send the email so the user can edit it and reply. I sent it to my email address and the form shows up with the filed size or read only depending on how I marked each field before sending, the problem is I can't enter or update any data from the form I received it seems to be locked or all fields read only. I must be missing the obvoius here but after too much time looking I'm seeking help!!!

Try looking at this and see if this helps (you have to have Access 2007 or 2010 AND Outlook 2007 or 2010 for it to work)

Hi Bob, just read your link on how to do data collection via email, very informative however I still have a few questions.

1. Can we have a single user (email recipient) insert multiple records via email. Just like how it will work in Access via a form to add records?

2. Does it support combo box so the user can select on the list?

I need to collect users timelog sheet and update to the database. Not sure if data collection is the way to go. Any advise! thanks.
