I note in one of the InfoPath sample templates that there is a createmail()
function. Is there any way to specify what recipient's email address as part
of the statement?

Thanks!

There are various properties on the email object that you can fill in, such as:
emailObject.To = "";
emailObject.From = "";

etc.

So, how would I change the createEmail(); function to accommodate that?
Also, I'm not really a programmer but would like to know where to find this
type of information in the future. Thanks.

You should be able to find sufficient info on these properties in the InfoPath help and on the MSDN web site.

It would help a lot in the near future if you mentioned which sample form you
were looking at? It saves us time when trying to help you. :) Thanks!

You can find more information on the "To" property of the "MailEnvelope"
object here:

Just set it to a string representing one or more email addresses and you
should be good to go. Another option is to pass it as a variable to the
createEmail() function like this:

function createEmail(emailAddress)
{
....
oEnvelope.To = emailAddress;
...
}

and then call it somewhere else in your code:

createEmail("someone@example.com");
