I am creating a survey on the internet for information on Women's Archives. The responses will come to my email box and I was wondering if there was an easy way to import the data into Microsoft Access without retyping. It would be an email with a link to the survey. The survey is going to be on the web. I used notepad to create the survey. I could send you a copy if you think you can help me. My sample came to my email as a list with the name of each text box appearing before the sender's information. I used Windows NT. Please help me. You can email me at tyoder@luc.edu. The survey link is The letter that was sent out is located at
I really need a lot of help.
I do not have outlook.
I also have some design questions.
 
There might be an easier way but I would-
Create an import specification for the e-mails.
You can do this by first saving one of the e-mails as text. Then in your db goto file, get external data, import, change the type to .txt find you file and click on it. A window will pop up showing your data, fill in your delimiters and click advanced to save your import specification. Let me know if you need a more detailed explanation.

Good luck!

What kind of design questions?
