Hi

this is my first post so please be kind.

I am trying to get infopath to send an email to an email address within a text field with a set message. I want this to happen when i click on a button.

Thanks in advance with help

Hi Buzzby and welcome to the forum!
This is easy to do. You need to go to Data Connection. In the Designer, go to Tools->Data Connections and click Add. Select Submit data and click Next. Select "As an e-mail message" and click next. A dialog will appear that has lines for To:, Cc:, Bcc:, Subject:, Intro, and form attachment. Click on the "fx" button next to the To: line and click Insert Field or Group. Select the Field from your main data source. Click OK, and specify others if you want. Click Next and Finish. Note: the field must be a valid e-mail address.

Hi

thanks for the response. I have tried that but have some problems. I have 3 different emails i want to send when i click on 3 different buttons. With your method it only allows me to send 1 email.

Can anyone give me the code that the data connection generates?

Here is the code to send an email via code
EmailAdapter oEmail = (EmailAdapter)thisXDocument.DataAdapters["Email Submit"];
oEmail.To = "[email protected]; [email protected]";
oEmail.CC = "[email protected]";
oEmail.Subject = "subject";
oEmail.Intro = "Intro";
oEmail.Submit();

Note: Above code is in c#

I've tried using the code to programatically send an email but I get the following error message:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
An item with the following index does not exist in the collection: Email Submit

What am I doing wrong?

Did you create an email dataconnection called "Email Submit"?
