Updating Record by Email form

Featured Replies

Access 2007 has a natty way of creating an email form that you can send to data subjects so they can fill in the form, email it back, and outlook works with access to automatically update the record.

Does FM 10 have anything similar, or is there a way to emulate this?

I'm not exactly sure if there is something as simple as that, but here are a few options for something similar:

  • Use Instant Web Publishing to put a form on the web and email the link
  • Use FileMaker inconjunction with PHP to add to a web page

Of course if you can get the results in a csv, txt, excel, etc form you can always import them. I've seen Outlook add-ons that will automatically save attachments to folders based on type.

I've seen some interesting stuff done with XML too. I'm sure someone else might know a better way, but thought I would throw a couple options out there...
