I have information in access tables that I would like to have external users
update. I was hoping to have a straight-forward mechanism where I can email
the users the information in a filled-in form, which they can change and
return, and the document can then be used to upload into the database.

Would InfoPath work for something like this. Are there any simpler
approaches?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Dead simple(ish)

Design a form with datafields from your database, make sure all the text
boxes are NOT read-only, mail it as an attachment to the people involved and
give the form a button on the bottom that submits the data back to your
database and your job is done.

Cheers Adam

Any further explanation required i am happy to help

Thanks a lot Adam. I am new to Infopath technology. Would someone who does
not have Infopath be able to open and change the details on the form?
