Email Form Options

Question

Hi,
I think I might have posted this previously in the wrong spot, so here goes again.
I have created a form in Livecycle which I would like to post on my company's intranet. My Manager has requested I make some minor changes to the form before agreeing to it.
The key items I need to work out are validating an email address via a drop down selection so that the form will email the as an attachment in pdf to the selected user. I've entered all data required in the validation tab and removed the submit button which I originally had. This didnt work so I researched a series options I found on here and inserted Javascript, but no luck. So I'm stuck.
I also need the form to be cc'd to myself. Secondly I need the subject of the email to be the User First and Surname (which are existing data input fields in the form).
Last but not least I'd like to lock the form so changes cannot be made once it has been completed and submitted. The form is emailed to an Authoriser from the drop down list who will forward it on for processing with their approval for the requested access. Can locking a form be implemented simply or does it require Javascript or something else?
I am happy for someone to look over my form and can email it through. I tried to cover all research prior to asking the question on the forum here concerning inserting hidden fields, email options and javascript etc to make things work. I seem to be nearly there but struggling with final completion of these items above. If anyone is able to help I'd really appreciate it.
Regards
Nick

In order to try and achieve the email going to the specific selection within the drop down list I have the respective users email addresses entered (and saved) in the Binding Tab of the Object. There is a hidden button for the click event (invibile on the form to the user completing it) in the Submit field I have mailto:emailaddress@(mycompanyname.com.au) and there a "Submit" button at the bottom of the form, which has the control type set to regular rather than execute or Submit. The Submit button also has some Javascript tied into it which is set as follows:
F.P1.Button1::click - (Javascript, client) 
if (DropDownList1.rawValue != null){
RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" + DropDownList1.rawValue;
app.alert(RealEmail.event__click.submit.target);
RealEmail.execEvent("click");
} else {
app.alert("Please select a user from the dropdown!");
Nothing happens when I attempt to select a user from the drop down and no email is generated.
Any dieas?
