We would like to be able to set the email address on a button by grabbing data entered into a different field on the Form? Is there a way to do this?

Example on the form we have 123 entered as an ID in and form field and we would like to set the email button to 123 [at] na [dot] com on the post submit event.

Is this possible?

Yes, this is possible. The email address is an input to all the JavaScript functions that send email. Assuming that you are using an AcroForm, and NOT a LiveCycle form, add a script like this to your button

var emailDest = this.getField("email").value;
this.mailForm(emailDest);

If you are using a LiveCycle form it gets more difficult, but it's still possible.
