I havent looked up the exact details but you can do this with a simple PDF form modified accordingly in Live Cycle Designer and email (the customer end only needs the reader). This option will let you return a limited number of responses - I think it's about 100 to 500 (Adobe do this so if you want a whiz bang solution you have to fork out heaps on Live Cycle itself) and I think it dumps it into a spreadsheet or at worst a CSV file. If I had little more time I'd research it a bit better for you Scott.

I apologize in advance since this isn't a CF question, but I'm desperate and hoping this is at least an Adobe question. A client of mine wants to create a form for users to fill out electronically. He then wants to take their responses (attached via email) and upload the data to an Access 2007 database. He absolutely does not want this to be web-based. He ideally wanted me to create an interactive form in PDF. I thought, "Sure, no problem." The problems I'm running into? Importing PDF data into Access appears to involve an extra step (converting the PDF to text or XML or Excel) which he/the client would have to do (since he's the one getting the returned forms). Worse is that he wants some multi-select drop-down lists in the form and I'm not seeing a way to do this in a PDF (I've played around with both Acrobat Pro and LiveCycle Designer). And without VBA skills I don't have, I'm not even seeing how to do this in an Excel or Word form. I'm getting stuck and turn to you kind sirs for your advice. How would you do this?
