I have a prospective client who wants customers to fill out a form on a website, press submit button and have the information emailed.
The OI app would then have a menu option which would Automatically dialup and check the email address for email, read each email,extract the form data and update the OI database with the data.
Is this posible from OI and how can it be done.

Yes, that is possible. You could also have OI running on the server and it could do that all directly (including sending the email if desired).

There is no Webserver at the site, the info just gets emailed to their email address by customers. I found the MAPI commands and the MAPI example program, so I think I now know how I can extract the info from the email messages, BUT, I was wondering if you (or someone) could tell me how to dial the isp and initiate the 'email receive' from commands sent from the OI app.

That would depend entirely on the email system being used. It could be as simple as executing a program (download email and auto-disconnect when done). It could get done automatically when you make the MAPI calls. Or it could be very complex.
