Creating a "holding bucket" to save form submissions prior to approval to migrate
You may have seen some of my previous posts relating to a Delay submission reporting system.
I am nearing the end of this project after a lot of useful help from you guys and am coming to the stage where I need to integrate what seem like really complex features in my mind.
I currently have this database which has 8500+ records (each one being one delay) which spans years and years of data and I am wanting to keep this protected from everyone else bar myself and my department. On a weekly basis we are wanting to add to this by using delay information which engineers on other computers will be wanting to submit.
What I would like to create, is a nice form that is easy for them to use, they would put in all the information, press submit and then that form would be sent to my Access database and put into a pending/awaiting approval basket/state.
Is this doable using Access ideally or some other software to create an application to submit forms via email in a client directly into Access? I am trying to avoid having to use Google Forms as I don't want to rely on a form entry system which might change, as I know Google has made a lot of changes in the past which has messed up certain users' systems and they have had to rework things.
