How do you get the current name of a file when opening a document to edit in info path. I want to get the name "FileName-1-2.xml" into a field on the form.
When viewing the form through a web-browser I can seen the name of the file as the "Title" in on the HTML page. Furthermore, I can see the name of the file is stored in the "Name" field on the document library columns. So how can I get that "Name" field into a field on the form when I open the form???
This seems like it should be a simple task/function.
Hi, you can do that with some codes you can add an onLoad event and add this C# code:
string caption = this.Application.ActiveWindow.Caption;this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("XPATHNODE").SetValue(caption);
Or keep it simple by setting a 'filename' variable on form open to something like this :-
concat(FirstName, "-", today(), "-", substring(now(), 12, 2), substring(now(), 15, 2))
Will result in something like :- Jason-2010-10-25-1430
cheason,
That actually what I ended up doing. (Creating a field and storing the name in the list). Seems odd to have to have to store the name of the file within the file itself, but it works.
