Default Importing forms

Is there a way of importing the information received in an Outlook Form, into
an Access database for reporting purposes?

Default Importing forms

First, forms contain no data. Like Access forms, they are UI/code templates. So what you're talking about exporting to access is the data from Outlook items, which are analogous to database records.

Outlook doesn't support exporting custom fields directly, nor does it export data from items that use custom forms. You'd need to write your own custom VBA code or to use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm
