How do I submit Infopath forms to a database AND via email?

The article by Ned Friend called "One Submit button: Many data sources" is
misleading - it's ok as far as point 9 but then it suggests I should be able
to select a data connection from a list when the only options available are
to a Web Service; to a sharepoint form library; as an e-mail.

I was hoping to learn how to submit data both to a database and via e-mail
to our Livetime system and I am still left with the questio - can this
actually be done?? and if so HOW??

To submit to multiple sources do the following:
1. Set up separate data connections for each mode of submission you desire
(i.e. database and email) this is in the Options>Connections Menu
2. Go into the properties for the control button, select Submit then select
Submit Options, choose Custom Code, and create rules for each of the
connection methods.
3. For the email you can use the rules to customize based on entered form
data to direct the form to certain email addresses.
Hope that helps :)
