I am using a 2003 MS Access database to store information from employees regarding health and safety issues.

I am currently sending out a paper form, this is returned and I am filling in the data. As all employees I need to contact are using Outlook, (2003), is there a way to send out the form electronically, they fill it in, return it, and the data stored automatically into the correct tables?

If not is there a way to just send and recieve the form electronically.

Thanks
 
It is possible to send a form in, amongst others, Word and Excel. It is also possible to get the data out of these forms. However, I would recommend a small, private website, if that is possible for you.
 
Remou gave you the best advice.. WEBSITE

You only need two pages.

1.Create a simple static HTML form page.
2.Create a PHP page to update your DB backend.

Best part of it.. no Microsoft solution...!
Outlook 2003 is full of bugs, runs slow and is generally a pain.
