Hi,

I believe you use LiveCycle Designer ES2, right?!

Then you can use a macro to create your mail script.

All you need is here.

http://thelivecycle.blogspot.de/2012/05/mailto-maker-marco-v1.html

Once installed, you can use the macro to easily create mailTo scripts in a regular button that can populate values from any form field.

OK,

step-by-step.

1. Create a button

2. Goto the tools menu > scripts > LCB_MailToMaker.js

3. The macro will launch a Flash dialog where you can edit your mail.

On the right side you'll see a dropdown list, that contains all form fields that can be used as a reference prefixed with a variable number in curly brackets.

4. Select the desired field name, than select the field you want to populate with the fields value and click the plus button.

5. Add some subject and mail body

6. Confirm with OK.

The macro now adds a complete mailTo script to your button's click event.

If the macro doesn't run because of you don't have flash player installed use this script.

It's the one the macro will create.

You will only have to modify the somExpression of var0.

var var0 = xfa.resolveNode("Form1.#subform.Textfield1").rawValue;
 
event.target.mailDoc({ 
          bUI: false, 
          cTo: var0, 
          cCc: 'email4you@youraddress.org', 
          cBcc: '', 
          cSubject: 'Filled form', 
          cMsg: 'Here's my filled form.' 
});

Hi,

correct, that was my fault.

The script fails because of an unescaped ' character in cMsg.

Here's the corrected one.

var var0 = xfa.resolveNode("Form1.#subform.Textfield1").rawValue;
  
event.target.mailDoc({ 
          bUI: false, 
          cTo: var0, 
          cCc: 'email4you@youraddress.org', 
          cBcc: '', 
          cSubject: 'Filled form', 
          cMsg: 'Here\'s my filled form.' 
});

AppHangB1 is a Windows releated problem.

Maybe you use a virus scanner or so that causes the problem.

Ok,

1. Create a button and select it

2. Open the script editor (on top of the design view) (ctrl + shift + F5)

3. Select the click event and make sure the language is set to "JavaScript".

4. Paste the script above

Yes,

the problem is you didn't modify the SOM expression for your text field.

If the form is build as the one in your video, than you have to change the line

var var0 = xfa.resolveNode("Form1.#subform.Textfield1").rawValue;

into

var var0 = xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.TextField1").rawValue;

Here's a good article that explains the basics of SOM expression.

I don't see any relationship between the script and your mailing problem.

The script simply copies the string you enter in the text field and uses it as cTo property.
