Collection data using Microsoft Outlook

[African]

Hi

I want to use Access to collect data for our research department. I have created a number of forms to assist the department in collecting data. I created a query with all the fields from the relevant tables to be used to collect the data. I used the option Collect and Update data via email to generate the form for collecting the data and emailed the form to myself for testing (gmail account), however, I cannot edit any of the fields.

I need help in figuring out why this happened or how do I work around it.

Are you opening the test mail using Outlook or through a web client as I can only guess that the web client won't have Outlook's functionality.
besides that I'm not familiar with this method of "Collect and Update data via email "
