submitting form data to an email address - workaround for IP2003-Outlook 2007 incompatibility

pineapple23 — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 09:06:58 GMT

I need to make my form email the data of a new record to a given address. The problem is that IP 2003 requires Outlook 2003 to be the default mail client in order to do this. I have found forum posts offering workarounds using javascript, however, none of them seem to work. it doesnt help that i have very little coding knowledge, and am not sure if i'm even pasting the code in the correct place

function OpenMailEnvelop(subject, to)
{
    try
    {
var oEnvelope = Application.ActiveWindow.MailEnvelope;

oEnvelope.Subject = subject;
oEnvelope.To = to;
oEnvelope.Visible = true;

        return true;
    }
    catch(exception)
    {
        return false;
    }
}

function btnSomeButton::OnClick(eventObj)
{
OpenMailEnvelop("this is the subject", "someone@somewhere.com")

i've just been pasting all of this where the code for the button goes, and changing nothing except the "btnSomeButton" reference, and the email address/subject.
any help would be very much appreciated.
