Hi,

I have a question: I try to move the filled form depending on a field in
this form. Is it possible ?

At this time, each time I edit a document, a new one is created an the old
one is deleted. But this solution isn't very safe, so that I need another
solution.

Hope you can help me :)

Greetings

I don't fully understand by what you mean by "move". Are you trying to overwrite during submit? Can you explain the issue with more detail?

Ok ;) i will try with an example:

Dir Tree:
Root - test1
- test2
- test3

New form -> submitted to folder test1

Now when I edit this form I would like that, depending on a field in the form, that it is submitted in another folder (test2). this works fine ... but the problem is, that the original in test1 is still there ;)

thanks in advance for your help ;)

I tried everything but I don't know what to do ...

What process are you using to move the file? Are you using shell commands, or just resaving the form in the new location? I'm assuming it is the latter.

Is your form Full Trust? If so, you should be able to simply delete the original form via code once you've saved it in the new location.

hi there Greg,

is the delete method from code really working?
I've been trying to do it but always fails.
I've posted inhttp://www.infopathdev.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=38&SearchTerms=DeleteFile as well.

Basically, I tried deleting one of the xml infopath forms on sharepoint, but 'FileExists' method cant seems to be able to locate the file.

This is the code snippet I used:

var fso;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
XDocument.UI.Alert("about to delete " + filespec);
if ( fso.FileExists(filespec) ) {
XDocument.UI.Alert("file found");
fso.DeleteFile(filespec);
XDocument.UI.Alert("file deleted");
}

where 'filespec' is the file location string to be deleted like 'http://sharepointlocation.com/Forms/libraryfolder/filename.xml'.

And my form template is fully trusted.

Any idea Greg? :)
