I have searched, read, etc. and THOUGHT this would be an easy task. But apparently not. I have an Adobe form, created in LiveCycle that has text input boxes for the end user to enter two email addresses. I then want the user to be able to click a submit button that sends it to a predetermined email address (already have that working via the MailTo function,) AND the two email addresses the user input in the earlier step. WHY is this so hard? I have seen all types of scripting, tables, dropdowns, etc. but not a simple, clean and easy way of accomplishing this. ANY guidance would be greatly appreaciated.

My Product Information:
LiveCycle Designer, Windows

Not really but close. Instead of typing addresses that then get used in a drop down, isnt there an easy way to just enter them into a text field that gets used in the submit button action?

Ähm, that's quite the same as in the other thread! You only need to add some new variables for Cc and Bcc.

var myDoc = event.target;var addressTo = OneFieldInYourForm.rawValue;var addressCc = AnotherFieldInYourForm.rawValue;var addressBcc = OneMoreFieldInYourForm.rawValue;var sub = "Returned form....";var msgBody = "Hello,\n\Your text\nMore text...\n\nKind regards\n"; myDoc.mailDoc({bUI: false,cTo: addressTo,cCc: addressCc,cBcc: addressBcc,cSubject: sub,cMsg: msgBody,cSubmitAs: "PDF"});

I think I see what you mean. I was looking at the original question involving dropdown boxes and not your reply. So, here is the "tough" part. I designed my form with LiveCycle anid it is pretty much drag and drop (ok, SIMPLE) so getting into program script is very new to me. I have changed some of the object layouts, etc. but have not inserted script into a button's actions. Can you give me a place to look so I can learn where to stick the code you sent? Looking at this makes me believe it is Java and not xml script. Correct? Thanks

PS: For LiveCycle Forms you can only use the XFA-samples.

Ahh, I forgot.
Yes this is javaScript. Put it into the the click event of a regular button. ;-)

OK, got it to work, for the most part. New question, is there a way to use this code so that it doesnt go through outlook and try to match the email addresses to the end users contacts?
