Does anyone know how to do this or if it’s even possible.
I have created several forms, say FormA/B/C/D in a database. FormA has a button that sends someone off to create FormB. Once FormB is submitted, it sends a mail to their manager which I would like to embed FormC in - this would then have a button for them to create FormD.
The problem is how to get the @MailSend with FormB to embed FormC. The option for embedding is only used for the current form and @MailSend only allows you add selected fields rather than forms. There is no way to get the button into a field. Including a doc link is not an option as I am asking people to create a form rather than just view.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve had this same problem before. The way I worked it out was to combine all the fields onto a single Form, which was then used as a Stored Form in first eMail. I used Environmental variables to trigger hide/whens throughout the Form (thereby only showing a specific part of the Form at any one time). Of couse, you will also need to include some code to set the environment variables to the correct setting at the proper time. Also, you will have to ensure that all your eMail receipients are using a template that allows “Store Form in Document” in the DB Properties.
Hope this helps!

Cheers Marc.
That’s kind of what I’ve been trying to do, but it’s getting quite complicated. I guess I’ll keep plugging away.
Thanks again
