InfoPath Dev

Hi,

I am currently designing an infopath form which will eventually be sent round various approvers before going to the actioner as part of a predefined workflow. However for the moment the business process is unclear so I actually for now I just want individuals to fill in the form and send it to people manually. For approval purposes it reallly needs to be part of an e-mail so that managers can reply with their approval and it is all contained in one e-mail chain.

I was wondering what the best way of doing this is? I assume that I can't simply copy and paste the form into a mail? Is there a way of creating a pdf of the form and then including that in the e-mail? Can I mail merge someway?

Thanks in advance for assitance.

you can use email submit connection to send the form via mail, as you mentioned the process is not fully clear, so as of now you can give a text field in which user needs to fill in the email id of the next actor. Also for the comments you can give a text box in which users can write their comments.

Thanks for the above reply but I need to send the form info as part of a mail rather than sending the form itself.

Luckily i've found that there is a simple menu option within the file menu that lets you do this (well embarrasingly my non-technical boss found it for me).

Now i'm trying to work out if I can add the menu action to a button within the form (see new post created!!!).
