Sending out more then one email

[Lee]

Hi All,

Thanks for any help I have gotten on any of the previous topics so far, I am
working my way though this Infopath/Sharepoint thing one problem at a time.

So here is my next one,

I have an infopath form that will be signed by 4 people in squence.

As each person signs it, I want an email to be sent to a list of people.

I do not want to use Alerts, because they may save the form a dozen or more
times while working on it before it is acutally signed.

My though is this. When the form is signed it reads a text file of email
address from a location on the server. It then sends an email email
address. Alternally I could use as sharepoint list.

I want to be able to change the list of email addresses without changing the
form since this could change alot while the form stays the same.

Anyone have any idea where to start on this?

Thanks

Lee

Hi Lee,

What you could do is have an XML file that contains the email names,
addresses, etc. and then setup this XML file as a secondary data
connection. (Do not add it as a Resource File since you will be making
updates to the file.)

You can then load that XML file programmatically, walk the nodes and
extract the e-mail addresses.

I hope this helps!
