Hi,

I created an electronic work order system in Access.  I did this by creating
a database and accompanying form with the relevant fields.  The most
up-to-date version of Access allows you to e-mail the form to your users.
So, everyone in my organization was sent a dynamic e-mail with the work
request fields and told to save it for future use.  When they have a requst,
they fill out the form in e-mail and click submit at the bottom of the
page.  This both sends the data straight to the database, which is saved on
the common drive, and sends an e-mail copy to me.  The only drawback is that
the form is only active when you open it in Outlook.

Good Luck,

Liz Maurer
