InfoPath Dev

Hello

  I am looking to have a button on a form that will allow the user to either close the form, or close the form and open a new form to submit another item. Just wondering if anyone has done this from the code. I have it published to a SharePoint forms library. I just don't want them to have to navigate back out to the site to get a new form. I want them to be able to open a new one from the form they are submitting. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can do this using rules. Add a rule to open a new form to fill out the form and give the url of the form which you want to open. Add second rule to submit the form.

First write the code to submit the form then ad the following line to open the new solution.

thisApplication.XDocuments.NewFromSolution(URI);

Here URI is the url of the form whch you want to open.

Do I need to add a reference to something in order to get XDocuments.NewFromSolution(URI) to pull up? Currently I don't have those options in my code behind which is in C#.

Are you using InfoPath 2003 or 2007?

For 2007, it is like:

XmlForm newDocument =  this.Application.XmlForms.NewFromFormTemplate(@"C:\MyForm.xsn");

code snippet copied from MSDN documentation located here.

Thank you so much for the help. I searched for a couple hours and couldn't find anything. THANKS AGAIN.

Do you happen to have this for InfoPath 2003 C# ?

Cheers

Sure. For 2003, per MSDN:

XDocument newDocument;
newDocument = thisApplication.XDocuments. NewFromSolution (@"C:\MyForm.xsn");
