InfoPath Dev

Hi all,
 
  If I understand correctly, the best approach is to disable the Submit and Save options (Form Options | Web Browser in InfoPath) in the toolbar and use your own Submit button.
 
  Problem is that, when the user clicks Submit and there’s a field validation error, a validation warning is shown, user clicks Ok button, the form is closed and all filled data is lost (user needs to start from scratch).
 
  In my case it’s not just a matter of if a required filed is empty or not (and maybe, enable/disable the Submit button accordingly).
  The field may be filled and still have a validation error (something like a “MVSN-NNN” mask where “N” is numeric).
 
  See Submit Click rules below (and image):
  - Close this form: No Prompt
  - Set a field’s value: txtSubmit = “1”
  - Submit using a data connection….
 
  I see the “Don’t run remaining rules if the condition of this rule is met” (see link below) but I cannot see any way of creating a new rule at the top that captures a field validation error.
 
  Any ideas???
 
  Thanks in advance!!!

Usually when we hit a validation error on submit, the form rules quit executing and the form stays open so we can fix our errors and try again. I see in your rules you have the "close" rule before the others - move that to the bottom and see if that solves the issue. I'm actually surprised IP is even trying to submit, since you have the close rule first. :)
