Importing XML to MS Access

I'm not really sure I should be asking this question here so attribute it to my unfamiliarity...
 
I'm just getting my feet 'wet' with (trial download) versions of Acrobat Pro 8 and Adobe LiveCycle. I've 'succeeded' in creating a 'live' PDF form, to prove a concept using test fields and test data with matching fields in a MS Access mdb file, which I 'distributed' (sent) to my own email account and to which account I also 'replied'. I see that the resulting email contains an XML file. Being on an equal footing with that fine language as well, meaning hands down unfamiliar, about all I can do is open/create a text file with an XML extension on my desktop into which I paste the selected XML text from the 'returned' email. On the plus side, I managed to easily import the XML data into my test database. However, the thought has crossed my mind that in actual practice, users might find the same process a little 'klugee', so I began to wonder whether there's a way to develop a slicker way than that.
