Choose to collect new data or update existing data

Office forms provide two data collection options:
  • Collect new information from users that adds new records to your database
  • Update existing data in your database. This option is useful if you wish to send recipients an e-mail message providing them with their current information and allowing them to make corrections.
In this example, I'm asking users to add new records to a database, so I'll choose the "Collect new information only" option and click Next to continue.
