Two-step submitting forms via email problem

[Adam Harding]

Have an issues form i have developed and linked into an Access DBase for
submit and retrieve.

My Problem is that i want to get the originator of the form to submit the
form via email to the authoriser who then fills in their bit and then they
submit the form (with authorisation) on to the Projects team who then submit
it to the DBase after prioritising it. It seems however that using the
submit via email function only allows for ONE submit via email. My
javascript is not that good and wonder if there is an easy way around this
problem

Have setup 2 separate data connections and my problem might be better
illustrated by an example. O is originator and DO is DataSource Originator
same for A and DA.
I set submit on O form to DO and submit on A for to DA BUT going back in to
O that button is linked to DA NOT DO. If i change it back to DO then the A
form's submit button changes to DO! argghhh! Can you help?

Thanks Greg

That works fine now.

You have 2 buttons set to the Submit action. This doesn't work because only 1 default submit is allowed per form.

To get around this set the action for each button to Rules and Custom Code, then set up a rule to submit to the correct adapter per button.

You can set up 2 different email submit adapters... the one person uses the first one, and the second (authorizor) person uses the second one.
