    Move "Add document" to the top of sharepoint site?

    There are over 100 submitted forms on my sharepoint site. When trying to add a new form, users have to scroll all the way down the page find "Add document" option,which is really a hassle. Is there a way to put "Add document" to the top of the site? Thanks.

     Hi Bruce,

     What I'd suggest instead is creating a Web Part page on SharePoint.  You can then embed your InfoPath form in this page and configure it so that when anyone opens up this page, a new blank form will automatically be displayed.  That way, you can put a link to this page on, say, your homepage and say something like "click here to fill out a new form".

     To create a web part page, go to Site Actions -> More Options -> Filter By: Page -> Web Part Page.  On the new page, click "Add A Web Part" and then under the Categories listed on the left hand side near the top of the page, select the Forms folder, and then select InfoPath Form Web Part and click the grey "Add" button on the right side of the page.  This will open up an InfoPath Form Web Part edit menu on the right side of the page.  Select the form you want from the List or Library dropdown, then scroll down and click OK. This will add the form to your page.  You can now click Edit & Close from the Page ribbon at the top left.

     Let me know if you have any questions.
