    Email Active View vs. Email Attachment in InfoPath 2007

    I'm developing an InfoPath 2007 form that is based on an existing InfoPath 2003 form.  When the form is submitted, the customer wants the email message to display the active view of the form and wants the form attached as well.  However, she wants the attached form to display some different fields than the view (don't ask me why).

    My question is, is this possible?  I am not aware that you can separate what is in the active view and what is in the attachment (wouldn't the attachment have to be what is showing in the active view anyway?)  She swears the 2003 version of the form achieved this functionality.  I've tried a couple things (hiding/unhiding fields based on rules, switching views), but the view and the attachment always com out the same.  If anyone has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Have you tried sections?

    For example: section1 is displayed while the user fills out the form. Section2 is hidden. 

    When the user clicks the button to send/submit, section1 is hidden and section2 displayed, then the email is sent.

    You'll be able to design section2 (active view sent in email) as desired.

    Good luck!
