InfoPath Dev

 Hello,

Using InfoPath 2010, I am trying to close a form based on a condition.  I tried to create an action rule, based on a condition for example:  if field 1 is not equal to field2 then close/exit InfoPath.

I was not able to find a “Close the form” InfoPath Action which does exist in InfoPath 2007.

Can anyone suggest/provide a solution?

Thanks in Advance,

Rodman Veney

 

I'm wondering if your rules are on a field instead of a button? Buttons have the Close the form action - but fields do not....

 Hilary,

Thank you for your response.  I now remember that  I was using a button in the 2007 version to close the form.   Is there a way I can close a form based on field conditions.  If there is a way via code can you provide a sample of th4 code that could be used?

Thanks in Advance,

I'm pretty sure this is a limitation of the InfoPath object model - kinda like how you can't use a rule to change a view based on a field change and also can't do that in code. I'm pretty sure you'll get an "Invalid context for OM call" error.

Hi Hilary,

Thank you for your advice and support. 

Based on your information, I created a new view to close/exit the form via a button.  If the condition:  field1 != field2 then switch to the close form view (which displays a Close form button) enabling the user to close and exit the InfoPath form.

Again, Thanks for Your Help/Support!
