    Allow manager to overwrite existing form entry in document library

     Hello

     I am new to Infopath and I need to make about 100 infopath forms and apply workflows to them. We are basically going paperless. The question I have is: When a user submits a form to a document library, it assigns a to-do item to their manager. In this to-do item is a link to the form that needs attention. When they open this form, the manager is required to check a box that states they approve the action. The only problem I have is when the manager goes to submit the form, it creates a new one.

     The filename: concat("Remote Access - ",  userName())

    I do this so each one is unique for the user entering it. When the manager submits it obviously makes a new entry with their credentials. I am wondering how I submit that approved form to overwrite the one they opened and continue the workflow. Right now when the manager submits the form, it creates a new item and the workflow starts all over. Any ideas how i can stop this from happening?

     Also...I have the "Allow Overwrite" on, but the name changes as soon as the manager opens the form.
