Or you could learn how to parse form data with a cgi program and have
them submit the data via a web page. From there you could do whatever
you want with it, get it via email or have it go directly into the
database. This would require some work to sort out and plan ahead of
time on your part but the ultimate solution could be quite simple and
low maintenance (unless done poorly, of course)
If you're stuck with Access as the back end you should be able to do something similar with asp and NT.
