Default Excel templates

Hi,

I'm in the process of creating a template, however, I'm not sure what my
options are to save the information that I'm collecting via the
form/template. What I would like to do is to capture the data and save it to
a database. Can this data be sent via email? Please inform me of my choices
and how to do it.

Thanks in advance,
Dencol

Default Excel templates

Without knowing all of the specifics, I would say that your best bet for
success is probably to gather the data, save the .xls file (with the new
data), then use Excel's File | Save As feature and select the
CSV (comma delimited) (*.csv)
file format for this second save. You can then attach a copy of the .csv
file to an email and send it via email that way.

I recommend this method since most (if not all) databases that I can think
of have the ability to import data from a .csv file. Each column of
information from the Excel worksheet becomes a field in a database table.
You'll have to export each sheet individually - Excel only exports the
current, active sheet when exporting to .csv file type.
