Collect information from a Word form into a table

[Guest]

Hello,
We'd like to gather information to place in a table via a form. We would
send and receive the form via e-mail.

Can anyone give me general instructions as to how this would be done? I
assume designing the form as a template in Word. I'm not sure how then the
information would be imported into Access.

Thank you in advance,
Ellen

It might be easier to do it in Excel. Excel spreadsheets can be directly
linked to an Access database and used as tables. You can also use automation
to read from specific cells:

Thanks, Arvin. Yes. Excel and Access interfaces quite well. I'll
investigate making some sort of a form in Excel.

I'm not sure as to how your script works, however.
