Hi Guys.

I've made a quotation form which will be used by different salespersons, each on their account on a local server. I want to be able to enable them to save the form on their own account, using a filename that is created from a field in the form.

 

Eg. Save form1 as "Quotation-fieldCustomerName-fieldDate" in the folder c:\salesperson1\quotations\filename

salesperson1, salesperson2 would be the windows login account of the salesperson.

 

Please assist if you can.

Thanks.

Kumail.

You can use this code to start you off:

If Me.[New] Then

Me.SaveAs("C:\form.xml")

Else

Me.Save()

End If

You will need to make references to nodes in order to get a custom file name.

Hi... Thanks for the reply. I have pretty much relied on the no-code options of infopath to create the entire form, as I don't know JS or VB. Whenever I tried using code, the form did not open, and I had to remove it (I was probably doing it all wrong). Is it possible to assist me on how to reference the nodes to get a custom filename? I couldn't figure that out. Thanks for all your help. Kumail.

 In VB, to work with the DOM, you'll need to enter the following code:

Dim DOM as XPathNavigator = MainDatasource.CreateNavigator()

To reference a node, you'll need to copy the XPath from the node's data source and paste it into code:

Dim field1 as XPathNavigator = DOM.SelectSingleNode("xpath", NamespaceManager)
