Submit by Email

i'm not sure, if emailing a form is allowed, without saving it .

however for the email part, use the regular BUTTON, and not the email submit one.
In the regular button, > Object Properties > choose COntrol Type = SUBMITnow at the top of the object properties section you will see another tab "SUBMIT" - click to open

in hte URL section type ---- mailto:abc [at] xyz [dot] com --- (without any spaces)
Then in the submit type as drop down, choose PDF or XML based on your requirement.

You cannot really prevent the use of local email clients, because clicking on the submit button, will always give you option of choosing between desktop email application or internet email.

Hi,

I've been making forms for a number of years and this problem of the email client or saving/attaching as an attachment has always been the weak link in the process so I decided to look for a way of doing it as you say. There's no free way as far as I can tell (spent hours researching it and unless you can write your own asp.net scripts) anyway, I'm now running a service that will allow you to do this on your form for a small charge and we will let you test it beforehand, its hosted so basically the form submits the data to a script on our server which re-merges the data with your blank form and sends it back to you in an email. You might have given up by now as this was a couple of weeks ago but there's a sample etc on our site for this http://www.pdf2email.co.uk
cheers,
Ben
