Adobe Solution?

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

I would just convince him that it should be web based and that it's absolutely silly to go in any other direction, and that you can do the entire project in ColdFusion in about 14 seconds because ColdFusion can do anything on Earth. On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 1:13 PM, Scott Spurlock

I'm inferring from the use of Access 2007 that this is a customer with champagne tastes and a beer budget. One of my favorite - and most effective lines to clients borders on a mantra: Anything is possible given enough time and money. Followed closely by How bad do you want it and what are you

Last year one of my clients wanted to allow people to fill out property rental forms online. I built a web-based form, and then took that data and inserted it into a PDF, so I could provide a completed rental form that looks just like the ones they use at the office when printed. That worked

I think you can submit PDF forms to ColdFusion backends in any case ( http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/node/101381 ). That'd let you feed it into Access in .014 seconds. You could do the multiselect as checkboxes if there's really no other way I think. The end. On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 1:13

I think the point your both missing is that your PDF solution is still web based, as it still has to submit the data to the database over the web, so the person filling in the form still has to be online, the only way for it to not be web based is for the user to print out the form, fill it in

Yes, this is what I'm trying to accomplish.  My client wants a PDF (or Excel or Word) form that he can send to people, have them fill out, and email back to him.  He then wants to be able to import that data into an Access database without having to retype anything into an Access form.

Excel would be far easier to do the form, and better for importing into Access than a PDF. Dropdowns in Excel are possible and it's not hard to learn how to make them. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/create-or-remove-a-drop-down-list-HP005202215.aspx On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 1:13

It is 100% doable via LiveCycle and it will cost him 10 times what a simple web-based solution will cost. I've never done it, but I know someone who will know the ugly details. Best of luck On Wed, 2011-07-13 at 13:13 -0700, Scott Spurlock wrote: Yes, this is what I'm trying to
