I have a survey form that I send out on a monthly basis. The recipient opens
the form, answers the questions in a combo box and sends the form back to me.
I would like to have the results automatically exported to a text file. For
example:

Question one is cmbSurQ1. The user chooses 'Outstanding'. The code would
look in the survey inbox, read 'Outstanding' from cmbSurQ1 and append that to
a text file. There are eight questions and eight text files. (Each of the
questions belongs to a different group in the company). The code would
perform the same action on all of the questions in all of the messages.

I would like the text file to contain the recipient’s e-mail address, the
message subject, a note indicating which question and the result.

Our current process is to manually tally these items. This should speed
things up dramatically.

Please let me know what questions you have.

I code pretty regularly in Access, so I am familiar with VBA, just not the
Outlook objects.

Thanks!
PJ

Are you using custom Outlook forms for these surveys? I'm guessing not -
these are standard e-mails with the questions and answers from the users in
the body of the e-mail message?

Do you want to read the responses and output to a text file when the
messages are received, or process already received messages in batches?
