form data via Outlook to Access db

I want to send users a form to fill out as an Outlook attachment. Once they've sent the form back as an Outlook attachment, I want to insert their form data into an Access table. I have most of the steps completed, but cannot believe there isn't an easier way. It seems very manual at this point. I'm hoping you can show me a short cut or additional product I can use. I receive their data back in an .fdf or .xfdf format as an Outlook attachment. I must manually export this attachment to a directory, then open Acrobat to convert to .cvs, then open Access and read in this file. The problem is we are talking 100's of these replies. I need to automate. Plz help.
