Thanks very much Paul. I've have completed further investigation, I think I will try and get the form submited as html so that just the entered intructions are received, and as far as a "database" goes, what I really should have said was a record, we don't need a database of the jobs just a record - a simple table of information entered in the form. Thanks for your suggestion about Access though, Access would handle and perform what we want a little better - would be great to have a job queue where we can mark jobs complete and enter meter readings etc....Access would be better at this than excel......I'm a novice Access user too, looks like I have some more research to do.
