I just came to work for an organization that had the results of a survey sent to an email address. There are about 1000 emails that they want to organize and collect data from.
Is there anyway to forward all 1000 emails into an Access database? I'm definitely going to rewrite the survey form to do this for next year, but I was hoping someone might have some good information on manipulating this years data. Thanks for the help. |

To get meaningful information into the database (besides just the blob of the email) you will have to write a parsing program. It _could_ be done in SQL, but you are better off looking at something else (Perl, VB, even C/C++). Next year, suggest to your organization that you send the survey as a URL to a web page where you can use CGI to load it directly into a database.
