    How to disable save and save as functionality

    I have a form that I created which is filled out by users of the client software and submitted to a sp library. The form name is determined by the value of a select box. If a user wants to edit the submitted form they find it in the library, they open it, modify it and resubmit it again. The good thing about the submit button is that it overwrites the old version with the same name.

    I found a user who has been saving (save as) the form back to the library rather than pressing the submit button. There now exist 3 forms with different names. I can fix this by deleting the older 2 and renaming the form to the correct convention. What I need to know is if there is a way to disable the save as function of the form to prevent this from occurring again.

    Some of the users have InfoPath 2007 and some 2003.

    Yup - under tools / form options you can disable this in the Open and Save category (if you are using IP 2010, Form Options is on the File tab)
