    Can I control the Name of the form with DBXL submit?

    I am using DBXL SubmitDocument and SharePoint mapping to submit to SharePoint list.  I noticed once I started doing the submit to SharePoint this way, the name of the form I specified on submit doesn't work.  In other words the link to the form now becomes the DBXL DocID rather than a  Filename I specify - and it's no longer a link to open the form. 

    Is it possible to force DBXL to name the form with my own specified name and make it hyperlink too?

    If the form is submitting to DBXL and DBXL is mapping to SharePoint, there's no need for a data connection that submits to SharePoint (hopefully your form doesn't have one!).

    When defining the DBXL Submit data connection, there is a DBXL::Name parameter, which is then used in the ShP form library as the Name. If the parameter is left blank in the data connection wizard, then DBXL will use the DocID as the form name.

    OH! ok.  Sweet!

     I was using a submit to SharePoint button prior to adding DBXL because I didn't know that it handled that functionality but I've since disabled those button rules and I'm letting DBXL do all the work.
