I have tried running the distribution wizard several times. However, I have not found where I can cahnge the mailto URL. Everytime I re-disrbute the original document the mailto URL (my return email address) comes up with the original email address with the typo.

The Distribution Wizard is supposted to give you the opportunaty to set the email address, that's the way it always works for me, and it can only work with the data that is already on the document. So the question is, where is the bad email located on your original form? Is it in a submit button? If not then this can't be the original doc.

Try this experiment. Create a new form with just one field and run it through the Distribution Wizard. Note the differences in how the Wizard operates with this form and the one with the problem email. If the Wizard acts completely differently then you know that there is something odd with the problem form.

I would like to edit my submit button, but cannot find where to do this. Also, wondering where the Distribution Wizard is located?

Editing a submit button is tricky. The submision attributes are in the XML. First, in LiveCycle Designer select the button, then from the "view" menu select XML. You'll see the underlying structure of the submit button here. Becareful, you can destroy the entire form with a bad edit.

The Distribution Wizard is activated in Acrobat from the "Form > Distribute Form" menu item.
You can also activate it from LiveCycle Designer, but I don't remember where. Just look around, you'll find it.

In Acrobat, go to Edit->Preferences. Select Identity in the left pane and you can edit the Name and Email Address (or blank them out). If one of those boxes is blank, the Distribute Form funtion will once again ask you for that information.Hope that helps.
