Submit Options 'From'

Stampie · Jun 26, 2008

I'm trying to set up a form in InfoPath 2007, i'm trying to make it look like
it comes from a user, but i'm struggling to find this.

In the Submit Options under Tools, you can set the Subject, To, Cc, Bcc and
add an introduction line, but more importantly i'm after it coming from a
certain group.

Is there something i'm missing or some visual basic code that can be
implemented to allow a From field?

Thanks.

No. You cannot specify the 'From' field due to security reasons. If it were
available, people would be able to spoof email addresses.

If you want to be able to specify a 'From' field, you would have to write
code either in VB.NET or C#. Take a look at the System.Net.Mail namespace. It
contains a MailMessage object you can use. See
