Outlook programming (VBA)

Hi Ya'll

I'm pretty unfamailiar with what can be done with OutlookVBA so I
thought to present this to the group...

A close friend of mine recently was hired by a trucking company as an
associate truck broker. I'm not going to bore ya with a complicated
education of the fine points of the transportation industry, but need a
little direction, perhaps an "it can't bedone" or maybe a "here's how ya
do it".

My friend is getting comforatble with outlook and was wondering if there
is a way to build a form accessable to a recipient (within E-mail) that
the recipient can make certain selections on, and then return. Keeping
in mind that the data from the form needs to be parsed then dropped into
a small Access Database automatically.

As I understand the industry and function of his position he'll be on
the phone hearing "no" frequently from people that don't have loads and
hearing do you have loads from others. The function of a truck broker
is to get the truck and the load together, with location being an
obvious parameter.

Putting something like this together will not only make him a few more
dollars, but may even turn into a small commercially viable idea.

If anybody has any idea besides the obvious Webpage/form solution I'd
love to hear it...

Sincerly,
Robert (Bob) Croley
