Hello everyone,

I was not sure whether this would be a question for this or the 
language forum. Please correct me if I have posted this in the wrong 
mailing list.

I have created a web site for a high school alumni organization. They 
have a "join us" form and the data is presently passed on by email. 
The data is then entered by hand into the database.

Now, they are "upgrading" their computer at the office and will 
transfer their database from an ancient program to MS Access (the 
person who deals with the membership maintenance is working with MS 
Access at his job too; so it makes sense that he uses what he is 
already proficient with).

I was wondering... There must be a way so that they can easily and 
automatically grab the data for new members and feed it into their 
database, no?

I would very much appreciate if you could give me any advice on how 
this can be done. I do not need a detailed explanation. A general 
idea will be enough.

Thanks a lot :-)

Doris
