Outlook 2007/InfoPath 2003 - Can't submit thru submit action (emai

[jlarge]

Hello all,

There are similar posts to mine but with no answer, so rather than dig up an
old post I'll try to explain in detail what the exact problem is.

I am running Outlook 2007 and Infopath 2003. I have a submit button in an
InfoPath form, that when pressed it supposed to send the Infopath form as an
e-mail to the specified role/email address. The problem is that when I
publish the form to a shared location and press the button, I receive the
following message:

InfoPath cannot submit the form.
Some rules were not applied.
"InfoPath cannot submit the form.
An error occurred while the form was being submitted.
To use this feature, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 must be set as the
default e-mail program."

Outlook 2007 is set as my default e-mail program, verified by creating a
simple html file with a mailto: link and outlook opened when clicked.

I have also tried "infopath /cache clearall" as was suggested in another
forum but to no avail.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it'd be appreciated.

Thanks

Well,
Unfortunately the key word is 2003. InfoPath does not work with versions
outside of its version.
So IP03 = O03
IP07=O07
Everyone one needs to have the same.

There are some backend work arounds to this, send email a different way
outside of the submit data connection but nothing simple.

Clay;

I hope that you're still monitoring this thread... can you elaborate on
"backend workarounds"? I'm faced with the same issue and it's bringing some
critical processes to a halt.

Thanks!
