We have created a custom form in Outlook that we will be using in email
correspondence. I have received a request to create a report or query that
accesses the data in the email form and lists the values. Is it possible to
pull data from emails into a report or query format?

Yes, you can use addins to do this. If you use newer versions of Office,
infopath or other method might work too. See the experts in program_vba
newsgroups for specifics.

Quick and dirty method:

1. Put all the items from your form in one folder.
2. Use a table view to display all the data fields that you want to export to Excel.
3. Choose Edit | Select All.
4. Choose Edit | Copy.
5. Paste to Excel.

If some of the fields are multi-line, see Eric Legault's handy tip for an Excel formula to break up the lines -- http://blogs.officezealot.com/legaul...4/08/4502.aspx

The alternatives are to write your own custom VBA code or to use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=23
