Is there a way on the submit button to open our outlook so you can edit the email before it is sent?

Thanks in advance.

i dont think there is a way to do so, but i would also like to know if there is any way to do so

Hi

Using IP2003 I have added a button with a rule set to 'submit to data connection'. For the same button I have added the following code (VBScript).

Sub Submit_OnClick(eventObj)

Dim myEnvelope

set myEnvelope = Application.ActiveWindow.MailEnvelope

' Specify addresses, subject, and introduction.

myEnvelope.To = "email address"

myEnvelope.CC = "email address"

myEnvelope.BCC = "email address"

myEnvelope.Subject = "Plot request"

myEnvelope.Introduction = "Type text here"

' Include form template with form.

myEnvelope.EmailAttachmentType = EmailAttachmentType.XmlXs

' Display form with e-mail envelope.

myEnvelope.Visible = True

End Sub

This opens Outlook with a preview of the email which you can edit or add additional instructions. There will also be a JScript equivalent of the code.

I've used the C# code below on InfoPath 2010 and it works on on the rich-client. It doesn't work on IPFS.

 using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;

 public void btnOpenOutlook_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
 {
 
            Outlook.Application oApplication = new Outlook.Application();
            Outlook.MailItem newMail = (Outlook.MailItem)oApplication.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
           
            newMail.To = "[email protected]";
            newMail.Subject = "test email from infopath";
            newMail.Body = "hello world";

            newMail.Display(false);

}
