Hi Sunil,
Since you have a copy of the AD Web service, just call GetUserInfo. Shanthi will reply with more details.

Hi Sunil,
The Email dialog that comes up belongs to Outlook and I dont think we can edit data once it gets entered into it.(Probably we can with a lot of code and which is not worth it)

But you can set the email id in the submit button code.
Here is the code with which you can set an email id.

//Get the email adapter
EmailAdapter oEmail = (EmailAdapter)thisXDocument.DataAdapters["Email"];

//Set the to address
oEmail.To = "abc#xyz.com";
//In the above statement you can get the emailId from any one of the field that is in your form/Dataconnections.

//Submit the email
oEmail.Submit();

To set an email address you can use a text box in the UI and use that fields value in the code to set the to email address.

Hope this helps!

Where do you want to enter the email, Is it in the email dialog that appears when you click on submit?
If this is correct you cannot type on this dialog, because this dialog belongs Outlook which is out of InfoPath.

Hi Sunil,
Ok you have explained me clearly this time, thanks for that.
Script file of that form has all of the you need, to open an outlook window with attachment.
Just double click on the button and click on "Edit Form code" in the button dialog, you have all the written there.

Once you open the code create method is the one that you need to look at.

These are the 4 lines that you need

var oEnvelope = XDocument.View.Window.MailEnvelope;
oEnvelope.To = rgRecipients.join("; ");
oEnvelope.Subject = getNodeValue(xmlTitle);
oEnvelope.Visible = true;

Hi Sunil,
Sorry for being late,
You need to put this above code in onclick event of a button.
For ex:-

function CTRL1_5::OnClick(eventObj)
{
var oEnvelope = XDocument.View.Window.MailEnvelope;
oEnvelope.To = rgRecipients.join("; ");
oEnvelope.Subject = getNodeValue(xmlTitle);
oEnvelope.Visible = true;
}

Hope this Helps!

Hi Sunil,
You can use a Rule that triggers for each value and sets toe To recipient. Or, you can have an OnAfterChange event handler that sets the To recipient based on the value in the dropdown. I hope these hints help.
