Hi guys! Have a question regarding Infopath and Sharepoint.
I created a infopath form wherein a user can click Accept or Reject a
certain document. I am publishing this form to a Sharepoint server. Is there
a way that when a user clicks to accept or reject and then save the form , it
will automatically sends an email to the creator of the form by using the
Outlook account of the one editing?with the body of the email being the
form's hyperlink?
Sorry guys, newbie here.....

Hope someone can help.Thanks

You can create a "submit" button in your form which will perform the multiple actions you require:
* Submit form to SharePoint.
* Send Email (the body of which can contain a link to the XDocument.URI, which is the form location)

Please note, however, that the email is not completely automatic. Security features require the user to click a button to accept that the email be sent.

Hello!thanks for your reply!
How do I do the send email part?Can you give me a start on how to do this?
Is there an existing set of commands to do this?
By the way, I set the language of the Infopath to be VBScript.
Thanks again.
