InfoPath Dev

Hi,

 I have an infopath form that is submitted to a form library. my question is that is it possible to auto checkin the form when the user clicks the submit button?

and Auto Check Out the form when the user clicks on the InfoPath form?

Thanks

 Hi, do you have the option "Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? " checked on the settings of your form library ?

I have set that to "Yes"

Hi, try to set it to "no" and normally your file will be check in.

unfortunately, it doesnt work..

 well, my form has its own submit button that has some codes in it.

is there any other way to auto checkout/checkin my form?

thanks

Ok, if you don't need the chek in check out functionnality you can disabled it.

If you want it you can set it by codes throw Web service, I found this sample :

public static void UpdateListItemCheckOut()
{
            listservice.Lists listProxy = new listservice.Lists();


            listProxy.Url = "http://SERVERURL/sites/tester1/_vti_bin/lists.asmx";
            listProxy.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            bool success = listProxy.CheckOutFile("http://SERVERURL/sites/tester1/tester2/test.txt", "False", string.Empty);

            success = listProxy.CheckInFile("http://SERVERURL/sites/tester1/tester2/test.txt", string.Empty, "0");

 
}

Hi,

Thanks for this.

I dont want to disable the chek-in / check-out. i just want to automatically check out or checkin the file. or maybe if possible, redirect the user to the checkin page when the user clicks on submit button.

 Hi, for redirect the user after the submit, this link can help you:

I just blogged using SharePoint's web services for this. No code required.
