MS ACCESS HELP-Status Reports Forms
I am currently in charge of monitoring my divisions weekly status reports.
At the end of each week everyone in my division sends me their status report
in word format. It is my job to take all of the status reports and make a
status report summary.

As of right now, its been a cut and paste job. I would really like to use
Microsoft Access to automate this process by creating some type of form, to
make it much more organized and uniform. Anyone, PLEASE adivise me on how i
should go about accompolishing this, given my limited MS Access knowledge.
Secondly, are there any templates out there that resemble, or are similar to
what I am suggesting.

Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like the situation Office InfoPath was built to solve. Take a look
and see if it meets your needs.

Infopoint definitly looks like what i would need, but my problem is that im
on a deadline, and would have to order infopoint and get installed on all the
computers. Do you have any solutions for something short term. I will
implement infopoint possible in the future

None of us have any knowledge of "weekly status reports", what type of data
they contain, etc.
Likewise "everyone in the division" this could be 2 people or 200.
each case results in a different application approach.

Perhaps with a little more specific information, someone can help.
