Collect Data Through Email
tambourine63 <tbmedina[ at ]embarqmail.com> 12/23/2008 6:42:08 PM
I have designed an Infopath form and my text boxes are based on my
database which is my main data connection. I am able to email the form
to myself, click on reply, fill in the form and send it back. I even
have a rule to collect the replies into a specific folder. The
question is, how to I process the data? When I open the email I can't
find anything that will allow me to "pull" the data into my database.

Thanks!
Tammy

P.S. I have looked through several older posts, but can't find an
answer. Thanks again!

Hi,
While submitting if you have data base data in secondary connection, store
that data in a variable in the main dom. In onload, verify that you have data
in the data base secondary connection. If you doesn’t have then use that
variables’s data to get the values in the drop down.

I don't have a secondary connection. Should I create one?
