    Stop InfoPath form from prompting for Save on close

    I have a web-enabled form that I use a special service to relay data to a SharePoint server.

    I'm not doing a Submit to Main Data Connection... and I believe that leaves me in a state where InfoPath thinks it has to prompt the user to save the document.

     Is there a way to tell InfoPath that if it's on a certain view...never prompt the user to save when they attempt to close the form?

     EDIT: figured out if I make sure the InfoPath toolbar isn't displayed, it can't prompt because you don't have a close button :) 

    If I only show a Close button on that toolbar, it will prompt for save. 

    If I disable the Save and Save As options... it will still prompt for save on close 

    I really would like to tell the form to not ask for the save, regardless.

    Maybe I can make a button to close the form...that might quell or hide any prompts to save....

    If Save / Save As is disabled, I'd think you shouldn't get prompted - I wish I had time to reproduce this! You do need to have submit enabled, of course... I like adding a Close button to the form and hiding the ribbon myself.

     Ya, anything other than closing the window will trigger it to ask for a save.
