Default How to use submit button for both e-mail and database

When using the Office 2003 (Infopath form) How can I get the 'submit' button
on the infopath form to both submit to the database it is connected to and
submit to an e-mail address? I tried to use the customize feature in options
but as far as I can tell it only allows you to submit to multiple databases.
I need to have co-workers fill out the form (it is a customer complaint form)
and hit submit so that it creates a record in the database and at the same
time gives notification to their Supervisor that a form (customer complaint)
has been filed, allowing the Supervisor to assign it to a specific worker.
Has anyone figured this one out?

I suggest you find an Infopath group to post your question to. This is an
Access group and most of us probably don't know that much about InfoPath.
