Salesforce Inputting Data

Hi all,

I regularly update information from information  recieve through emails in Outlook. I wonder would someone be able to help me to setup a way so that I could insert this information through coding in salesforce rather than having to copy and paste it in manually each time? I could create a text file through a macro in Outlook and then perhaps could enter this information through the system log seciton of Salesforce? I would appreciate any advise on it.

The type of information I would like to update is 3-4 fields under a particular opportunity for a customer.

Thanks,

Derek

It's what I use daily and it has saved me sooo much time and accordingly money.

Hi legendaty1, this program does not seem suitable for me. Do you know a way I can run a script to input this data. I think the language used is APEX in salesforce. If I could get an example from someone on how to update fields in an opportunity using this language that would be great.

Hi techhealth, I've investigated this but it will not work for what I want it to. Can you give me an example of APEX code I would need to do, something simple like update a particular opprotunity for example?
