Using Access to design a form and then publish it
 
I am trying with little success to utilise Access where a form can be
designed and then this form can be sent to an e-mail address as an attachment
where the form would look and react the same.
e.g. the mail recipient would be able to enter information into the form
just as if they where in Access, I then require the information to be
received back into the database.
Is there a straight forward way to do this, (the only way I can see at the
moment is to use Data Access Pages!)
(I do not want to use Infopath as the form design tool!!)

Hi - since you're really asking a *question,* don't use the "suggest"
feature. Use it only for things you know for sure are not possible - through
a lot of research & asking questions.

That said, you might try posting in an Access group, as I'm not sure how
your question relates to Outlook specifically.

***do not abuse the suggestion form for requests for assistance!***

Ask this in an Access group as it is only peripherally related to Outlook.

If you are saying the recipient would be required to enter data in an Access
form then they would need Access on their sys, or at the very least Access
runtime, and you would have to mail more than just the form.
If on the other hand you are designing a form which is printed off for
manual editing then you would have to print the access form to a pdf printer
(or similar) then send that file as an attachment
