    Multiple Data Sources, Multiple Submit Buttons, Multiple Document Libraries

    Here goes, I am having an issue with multiple submit buttons and multiple data sources. I will list what I am trying to achieve in order.

    Infopath 2010

    Sharepoint 2.0

    The purpose of thise for is to submit to an assessment team:

    User Submit's Form

    Assessment Recieves Form in "Assessment Vault" Document Library

    Assessment Team reviews form to determine viability and can choose one of 5 buttons to submit to

    Archive Vault

    Deferred Vault

    Trade Secret Vault

    IP Vault

    Idea Vault

    Each of these has their own Document library within SharePoint, I have setup multiple data connections within Infopath and am using the "Perfrom Custom Action Using Rules"

    Now I have tested this and once the user submits it sends it to ALL Document Libraries, so I then chose "Don't run remaining rules if the condition of this rule is met", it lets the user do an initial submit and it only goes to the "Assessment Vault" I then try to click on of the other buttons to send it to the next document library and receive the following:

    InfoPath cannot submit the form.
    Some rules were not applied.
    InfoPath cannot submit the form.
    The form was not submitted because a form named Woohoooo.xml already exists in the document library at http://ICM/Assessment Vault. Please contact the provider of the form.

    So it is try to save to the first submittal location, how do I get it to be able to save to the individual "vaults"?

    Sounds like you may have a problem with your rules and conditions. Does each button have only rules to submit to its own library? Or are they set up as "Submit" buttons?

    Yes,it is a submit button controlled by rules now , I tried to point each button to it's associated library through the 5 or so data connections I have setup to the libraries, but once I do this for each and the main submit button is clicked it submits to ALL at the same time. I only want it to submit to the "Assessment Vault" and then the assessment team would choose one of the other vaults after assessment.

    If they are set as Submit buttons, they will use whatever your Submit Options are set to. If you change them to use Rules and Custom Code, you can just add a rule to submit to a data source and select the appropriate submit data connection.
