Submit to mail recipient

[H0MELY]

Thank you in advance for looking. I would like to add a button to my form
that when clicked behaves like I had just clicked the "send to mail
recipient" button on the standard toolbar. I am by no means a programmer but
I am hoping that it is an easy solution. Is there anyone out there than can
help? Thanks again for looking.

You want to send the form via email but allow them to specify an address?
You cannot do this with out code.

I will assume you are familiar that you can submit a form via email via a
data connection to a preset address. That way you can control where the
emails go to.

However you can give this functionality a couple different ways.
Provide a text box for them to enter email addresses for to: and CC: etc.
and then use these fields in a email submit that the button triggers.
In IP2007 you can have a contact selector control which you can use to
browse contacts, although this is not simple to setup.

Clay thank you for the response. I had tried using the method you suggested
but unfortunately the users really want (need) access to the global address
book when entring the "to" information. The other problem is that the "from"
field is not available using that method, there are instances when the form
will be rejected and returned using a generic email address. I expect that I
will have to use VBA, I just have no idea how to do it. I was hoping that
someone knows the object name and then how to call it. I am totally open to
suggestions.
