(This question is more like a Dreamweaver question than an Access question
:) )

I want to use Dreamweaver to establish a dreamweaver FORM (aspx webpage) to
put to the website, so that the Customers could www. this webpage and fill
in the form.

My question is: Is it possible, can dreamweaver FORM collects the
customer's fill in information -- to establish a .TXT file ( or txt data
divided by , ) and automatically mail this TXT to my e-mail box ?

So that, after I receive this e-mail (with the TXT data), I could introduce
the TXT data to my Access file.

Why I want to use TXT instead of putting the whole ACCESS file in the
host? -- Because, if by TXT method, I don't worry about the whole Access
file be download by the hacker in the web.


Waiting for your top solutions :) Thanks!

I am quite disappointed about that. If Access could work with other
softwares well, Access could be more abtractive.

Access can both import and link to text file data in a comma separated or
tab separated format. DreamWeaver usually uses ColdFusion for a server and
that can read and write Access data. How to do it is not an Access question,
since Access is merely the repository for the data. If you want to use
Access to import the data, rather than the server to insert the data, then
the answer is yes, you can do it directly from the File menu (File ... Get
External Data)

The key point is how to generate txt(diveided by commas) by dreamweaver :)
