collecting data from userform to a database
Thanks so much to Cindy M for helping me with my textbox control questions
previously. I have helped a co-worker create a form, which has activeX controls, datepicker controls, a drop-down control and two of the legacy textbox controls. Is there anyway to have the data from this form collected in a database or a table? I believe the form will downloaded off of a website and then users will email as an attachment. Thanks a lot, |

collecting data from userform to a database
Hi ?B?TmF0?=,
I have helped a co-worker create a form, which has activeX controls, datepicker controls, a drop-down control and two of the legacy textbox controls. Is there anyway to have the data from this form collected in a database or a table? I believe the form will downloaded off of a website and then users will email as an attachment. Mmmm. With this combination, the only possibility is a macro. You wouldn't want the macro saved in the document as that could bother those downloading it. So you'd store it in a template, for use when the attachments come back. I advise you to go with this question to a Word.Programming newsgroup, where you'll find many more people to help you. This is not a "simple" kind of macro to create. When you post, be sure to mention - the version of Word - any background experience you have in programming (so the person answering will have an idea how much shorthand he can use in the answer) - the type of "database" you prefer / can work with - what needs to be done with the data collected - anything else relevant you can think of Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
