Hi, First time posting. I'm using Adobe Life Cycle Designer and Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I created fillable forms with a button coded to submit the entire pdf by email. I would like the user that receives the emailed form, to be able to get the data into an Access 2002 database. I created a data connection for a jet 4.0 ole database and matched up the fields. However, how do I get the data into the database.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi pam_a,

In earlier versions of Acrobat it was possible to do this via Javascript ADBC (Acrobat Database Connectivity). For security reasons this was disabled in Acrobat 8 but here is the link to a technical note that details how to enable it at:
