    Data connection only allows one email address at a time

    Need some help.

    I have a multi-page form that has about 15 views.  I have some text fields that contain email addresses and I put a submit button right next to each of them.  I have defined data connections for each of these submit buttons, but when I choose a data connection under the "button-submit-properties" it changes the data connection for every submit button on the form.  There is also a radio button that is autoselected in the button-submit-properties dialog box that cannot be unchecked that states "email to a single address."  I have tried changing security levels and it doesn't change anything. 

     Any ideas????

    Two things.

    The default submit can only have one data connection or routine associated with it.  You need to have each of your buttons a rules button not submit. Then have one of the rules submit the proper connection.

    You can use logic for the email. Typically you would have a field with the email the user chooses and the field value would be used instead of creating a seperate data connection submit for every possible email address.  You can also concatenate addresses with a "; " between them to send to multiple ones.

    Hope that helps.

    Man, you are beautiful. 

    I was trying to write code with MailTO commands and I just assumed the rule submit would be the same as the default submit.

    That worked, and I have a multi-drop form that submits to over 8 locations, and you just saved me.

    Re: Data connection only allows one email address at a time

    I hit a snag.

     I'm using venali to serve submit forms to multiple locations and their server for some reason messes up the infopath formating.  I have selected to only send the current form view [i.e. no data].  The colors, columns...etc all come out as code.

     It looks like I have to go back to my fax server. 

     Is there any way to using a rule --> submit --> data connection and send this form view to my fax instead of an email address? [fax services 2003 small business server].  Can I trick this somehow with a faxto: command???
