I was unable to connect to the site and see what you're using for form processing, but it doesn't matter...

I have used this with PERL and Cold Fusion. Modify the script so that it saves the fields you need in an ASCII delimited file. When you receive enough emails and want to get the data entered in to excel or a DB, just download the file and import it.

You will have to match the field order with the database field order, but a little planning will make that easy.

This is an easy alternative to an "on-line" database, but is qeared toward those with less experience.

Thanks,
Christian

The only way you can make an Exel file and attach it is by using ASP and using some really dificult objects. It's not worth it.

Is his database on the server? If it's somewhere we can connect to from his web site, we can take the form info, connect to the DB, insert the data, then send him an email saying "New data entered into your database..."

PS - link didn't work for me
