concat("mailto:", email, "?subject=Notification regarding Form Submitted&body=Use this link http://server/site/share/", formname, "to access")

You can also use cc, bcc, and multiple addresses.

Here is a reference. http://www.addressmunger.com/mailto_syntax_tutorial/

Test it by creating the hyperlink you need, then you chould be able to create it with a concat function using your form fields.

Thank you so much for your help - this should be the last question. Based on that format below can you also add a message into the body of an e-mail or a hyperlink into the body of an e-mail?

Clay Fox:

concat("mailto:", email, ",SUBJECT=", subject)

For this then use a Hyperlink with the Mailto:.

concat("mailto:", email, ",SUBJECT=", subject) Look at the syntax but you can use a hyperlink to pass quite a bit to Outlook. You just could not attach the form without code. But if you are submitting the form somewhere you should be able to create a hyperlink tot he particular form and insert that in the email.

I do not think Outlook allows a hyperlink in the subject but you can but a hyperlink in the body.

Correct, the file I want to attach is separate from the Infopath Form itself. I want to be able to click on a link in the infopath form and it will open up a new Outlook 2003 message - grab the To: from a field in the infopath form which I've done and the subject from a field in the infopath form which I've done and do one of the following:

Attach a file I choose
Insert a hyperlink into the body of the e-mail message
Insert a hyperlink into the Subject line of the e-mail (I tried this but there seemed to be a length of characters allowed)

Thanks for any help!

By default the InfoPath form will be attached. Are you refering to another attachment?

In InfoPath 2003 you have fewer options in the sending of email compared to 2007.

If you know where you are storing your forms, via submit. Then you could probably create the hyperlink and add that to the intro of your email.

I have very little experience with Infopath 2003 and even less with any kind of scripting so I apoligize if this is a stupid question. I'm working on a small project from work where I click on a link and it's currently set up to open a new e-mail message where it has grabbed the name from one field and the subject from a second field using the concat function. Is it possible to also have a specific file attached to that e-mail or put a hyperlink in the body of the message that would link to that file?
