Collecting Data through email messages Access 2007

When I try to collect data through an email with outlook 2007, using an HTML
format, the receivers of the email cannot enter information into the text
boxes. Also, there is no submit button. Is there an outlook setting that has
to be allowed to do this? Are there any special settings in access that I
need to set?

Any help is much appreciated
 
This newsgroup is about Microsoft Access, the database application builder
that is part of Office. You will probably get more assistance if you post
your question in an Outlook group.
 
I apologize, I "mistyped", I was referring to the collect data by email
function in Access 2007. Users, on any email system, when I send an html
message, are unable to edit or submit.

Thanks,

GB,

When sending html the user first receives a mail telling it to answer the
questions or fill out the forms. What the user needs to do is click the
reply-button in Outlook and from that point on the form can be filled with
the appropriate aswers. At that point the user will also see the send button
again.

So my advice is to place a little text in the mailoption from Access (when
creating the mail) in which you tell the user how to use the form. First
thing I tell my receivers is to press the replybutton in order to fill out
the form.
