    InfoPath 2010 Date Picker rule to send email when date is reached

    Hi, I'm new to the forum. I posted this in the Newbie forum but no one replied. I had a quick search through the posts for an answer but wasn't able to find a solution to an issue I am having. I am working on an InfoPath form that will hold our software licensing information, this will include software maintenance information and renewal of support from vendors. What I would like is an email to be sent from the form when the maintenance renewal date is reached. I am unable to create workflows as our SharePoint site is controlled by our Group IT. I am using SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2010. What I have at the moment is a Date Picker field with an Action rule. The condition is: MaintenanceRenewalReminder is equal to today() The Action that runs is: Submit using a data connection The data connection is set up with the email address and the subject has a formula: concat(Software Vendor, Software Title, "is due for renewal soon") It doesn't appear to be working however as no email is received to the account. Can anyone help suggest what I am doing wrong? Or is this even possible? I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Jack

    Well, without workflow, you will have to open the form for the email to be sent, so I'm guessing that sort of defeats the purpose here. Rules only run when a field changes - so you'd need to open the form, and set the maintenance renewal reminder field to today, then the rule on the field will run....
