Tracking Arrivals & Sending Email Notification?

[Grady]

Hi.

I need to create a simple database that tracks equipment arrivals at
my facilities. What I want is to create a simple form, which the
receptionist could fill out, every time someone delivers something at
the front door. The form would simply have a place to put the
time/date, delivery method, addressee, and a brief description. Once
the receptionist filled it out and hit enter it would create a new
record and then send a summary notification email to a group of people
on site who would then process the equipment as needed.

Is there relatively simple way to do this in MS Access or Excel?
Basically all I need to create a data entry form that also sends a
notification email. It doesn't have to be a database, if there is a
simple way to do this in a spreadsheet program like Excel that would
work too.

Thanks,
BEZ
