    Automated Data Collection Through Email Trouble

    I was playing around with this feature--trying to discover if it could be useful to us--and corectly sent the emails to test the process, but the data entry fields in the HTML email I send cannot be typed into. At first I tried a yahoo email account, and then a outlook exchange account, but I cannot enter values into the fields in the form that is sent out?

    I am using access 2010 and outlook 2010. Is this a common problem? I read somewhere that the replier might have to use Outlook. Is this true? What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks.

    I have successfully tested data collection only with Outlook (not Exchange) on both ends.

    The HTML method does not require Outlook. However, use of InfoPath does require Outlook on both ends.
    To provide db: Make copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip if large - 2mb allowed, attach to post. Attachment Manager is below the Advanced post editor window.
