Hi Francara,

If you use content controls or formfields for gathering the initial data inputs, you can get by without the data entry form at the end of the document - simply tell Word to use the "save form data as delimited text file" option (see under File|Options|Advanced>Preserve fidelity when sharing this document) before re-saving the document. Word will then generate a CSV file with the data, ready for importing into the database.
