    Open Link to Another Form and Close this Form Automatically

    I'll be copying all forms from one document library to another and want to redirect users who still have a link to the original document library to the duplicated record in the new document library. More than likely, the record in the new document library will be further processed than the one in the original so I need users to resume processing from the new document library copy. My proposed solution is that IF users open an existing form in the original document library, I want to present them with a view and button that when clicked, will open the duplicated record from the new document library and close the form opened from the original document library. In the past, I just needed users to open a new link - I think I even made the link look like a button, but now I also need to close the current form after the new link destination has been opened. I was rooting around in the summary of Qrules, but did not find what I need. Bottom line is I need to open link and close existing form with one button click - possible?

    I don't know of a way to do this. You may want to add a link to the new form and then in your "old" form (the one in the old form library) add logic that just hides any buttons for saving or submitting if there is a copy in the "new" library. So that if they open up from an old URL or something they can't actually save anything....
