    Infopath 2010 Submit browser based form to dynamic folder location

    does anyone know a way to have a infopath 2010 browser based form submit to a library folder that changes based on the security group the user is in?

    We have a project that the client wants to save the forms into folders that have different security. I am familiar with setting up the file save location but not sure how to set it up to a dynamic folder based on who is logged in.

    Is there any way to make a formula to create that URL string for the save to location?

    the other way that we thought was to move the files once they are saved to the folder but the issue is that when you make any updates to the form it saves it back to the root location instead of the folder in the library so you end up w/2 files.

    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I haven't tried this but here's an idea: in your form, you set up logic to determine to which security group the current user belongs to.

    You also set up (let's imagine) 5 submit data connections and 5 buttons. You can hide/show these buttons according to the current user's group. So each user would only see one button and that button would be configured to submit to the correct location for that security group.

    Seems like an easy way out! Hope it helps.
