    Enable the cc option in submit it is currently greyed out

    Hi, I am trying to enable the cc option in the email submit section of the form.  The "to" option of the submit is always sent to the same person but I need to enable the "cc" option to be able to be sent to any user in our exchange directory.  I am sure this is easy but I have tried lots of options and still no go :(

    You would most likely want to have a field in your form, called my:CCemail. You can set the data connection to email this field as the CC recipient. Then, via form rules, you can dynamically change the value of the CC field, or even allow a user to type in a value into the field.

    Hope this helps!

    thanks but not really. Can i have a few more step by step instructions.  So what type of control do I insert for starters? How do i set the data connection.  Struggling!

     Add a text box to the form. Name the field appropriately (like Ernesto suggested - CCEmail is a good name). Then in Data Connections, select the Email data connection. Click Modify. Walk through the data connection, when you get to the window where you can enter either a value for CC or click the fx button, click the fx button. In the formula editor select the button to insert a field or group. Select the new field you just added, and finish walking through the data connection.

    Thanks Hilary thats great.  I have it working now but it is dependant on the person completing the form knowing the email address of the person they want to submit to.  Is there a way to link it up to excahnge or Active directory.  I tried the people picker thing but that didnt really work. It will pic their ad nameeg domain\jsmith but i want to pick their exchange address.  Any more ideas.  The help has been great so far, Thanks

     This blog post may help you - you may need to walk through it exactly as written, then apply the same technique to your own form (that is usually the easiest way for me to figure out new stuff).
