    infopath 2010 form file name

    Hello,

     I am new to InfoPath form application and I couldn't get the file name from the submit data connection properties because the 'Modify' button is disabled. Please help if there is any other way of getting the file name the form uses when it gets saved to SharePoint list. 

    Thanks

     Hi - I'm surprised to hear the modify button is disabled - but in that same data connection window, usually toward the bottom of the window is a description of the data connection. In the case of a form that submits to a form library, you'll see what will be used as the form name there. If this is a SharePoint list field, it uses the Title column, generally.

     I just opened up a list form - and yup, can't modify the data connection. I'd bet it just uses the Title field - that is usually the field linked to the edit menu and so forth in views.

     if the 'title' field is the file name shouldn't it be unique.  why would it allow me to create more than one item with the same 'Title'

     That is a list setting. Go into the list settings and I believe in the Columns section in the settings page, if you click on a column to look at the properties, you can set it to require uniqueness. "Enforce unique values"
