I have created a form in IP 2003 with many different attachment fields. My users will attach documents to this form and press a submit button with the following C# code:

I have a problem with this method of transfering the form from the user to me. Our users store these forms on a shared drive. However, the forms can be extremely large, and the forms are eating up space on the shared drive.

Once the user presses the submit button I have coded, is there anyway to take the form from the user?

This may eliminate the space issues on the shared drive.

What exactly do you want to happen after the user clicks submit

I would like the form to be saved to a specific path on the shared drive, and I would like to take the form from the user, ie the user would no longer have access to it.

You could dump the XDocument.xml property to a text file - but I don't know how you would 'remove' the user's access - you'd have to adjust file permissions?? Perhaps you could use a shell command to cacls.exe (could be dangerous).

Another way, if superficial 'hiding' from user is suitable - before saving to file you could set a 'flag' field to a value. Then have a rule on form open which if that field = value it should switch to a BLANK view. If the user finds the form that was saved and tried to open it - it will display as blank.
