InfoPath Dev

Ok....I'm pretty green but I've looked all over the internet and tried many things, but I can't quite put the Save As button together and I'm asking for a little help.

I work with autistic adults and want to make my form as easy as possible with a "Save As" button to a local directory but I'm missing something and can't figure it out.

Concept:  The user scans a barcode into a field and it auto advances to the next field.  When they are done scanning, I need them to simply click the print form button....which I haven't figured out the "Print" button yet either.....(if you can help with that...cool) then click the "Save As" button to save as the current date in a local "C:\" directory.

I'm just a small place with no server or sharepoint library so using "Data Connection" doesn't work for me....I think..LOL  Everything is offline into local directories.

Is this a hard thing or am I just doing far too much research and trying to do more than is needed.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide..

It sounds like what you want is not Save As, but rather just Save with a predetermined filename.  Would you say that's correct?

 If so, qRules has a command - SaveToPath - that would probably be just what you need.  Unfortunately, any saving to a local disk doesn't use the built-in save functionality (e.g. File->Save) is going to require a full trust form.

For printing, qRules also provides a Print command, that you can use to initiate a print, with or without a print dialog, on the click of on one of the form's buttons. That would also require full trust.  How about giving that a try?

 Which version of Infopath are you using? Can you use jScript or VBScript code? If so, then you could put code on a button to load the form xml data into an XMLDOM object with a .save function call which will do what you want.
