Maybe I'm missing the point, but couldn't you just use the toolbar button in InfoPath?

Hi Yaseen,

InfoPath forms (both filler and browser) can send views in email without any code. For the filler, just add a submit data connection for email and walk through the dialog. For the browser, you'll need to configure outgoing emails for your SharePoint site.

To change the email body, etc. progammatically, you can write code. You need to create a data adapter to do the submit first and then set the fields. I'm guessing there are numerous examples on the web, but you'll need to search for something.

Anyway, I wouldn't write code. Just switch your view before you submit and create the data on the view that you want to be in the email.

Best of luck,

Hi,

To be short, I want to design the same functionality like we used too have it in InfoPath form template (Asset Tracking form). When you click the "Send as an Email " Button the form will be in preview mode inside the Email Message Body. It is done JScript and the later Version doesnt support these scripts. I'm actually able open up an empty Email Message But I dont know how to display the specific field from the form or to show the url of the form.

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. Application oApplication = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application(); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook. MailItem newMail = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)oApplication.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem); newMail.To =""; newMail.Subject =""; newMail.Body = "?????"; newMail.Display(false);

I got the above code from this forum. So how do I bring the form field to display in the body(?????) of the Message.

Either I want the Preview of the form like we had it in Asset Tracking or I want to just display like Specific form fields to be displayed inside Body of the email Message.

Regards,

Yaseen
