    email to a mobile device

     i have an issue , i have a form that is submitting to a  SQL database it works fine.after submitting to the database it send an email to the users this also work fine.

    My issue is that when doing so info path take a snap shot of the view there are more information that are not being pass to the email.

    Also i am trying to make this mobile enable so that the user can open email in a blackberry device.

    The form has been created by using database  template.

    Thank you

    Is the user opening the email in the mobile client, or the form? An InfoPath form that has been created by using a database cannot be browser enabled. From Microsoft's site:

    Forms that are based on this form template must be filled out by using Microsoft Office InfoPath. If the form will be filled out by using a Web browser, the form cannot submit data to a database directly. To configure a browser-compatible form template to submit data to a database, use a data connection that submits data to a Web service that works with the database.

    You can create your own web service, or you can use a third party tool, such as Qdabra's DBXL.

    As far as sending the email:

    One recommendation is to create two sections: one for filling out the form and one for sending email. These two sections are controlled by the value of a boolean field. The boolean field is FALSE by default. When the user clicks submit, the boolean field is changed to TRUE. The filling out section is shown by default but hidden when the boolean field = TRUE. The emailing section is hidden by default but shown when the boolean field = FALSE. Result: this allows you to have two sections with different designs in your form. One gets used for filling out, and the other is sent out in email. Each section can be customized as needed.

    Hope this helps!
