InfoPath Dev

Infopath 2003

I have a form with multiple views (for different user roles), and each view has a submit button. The form is on SharePoint.

I need the InfoPath application to close when users submit the form. I can do this by making the button control work through code that submits the filled-out form first then closes the InfoPath application.

The problem is that every submit creates a new instance of the form, with a new ID and a new entry in the SharePoint form library.

Regular old button controls set to use the submit action (no scripting) don't do that, but they also don't close InfoPath. I tried closing InfoPath using the OnSubmitRequest event, but nothing happens. And I don't see a way to add code to the regular old button control that submits.

I also tried submitting using button rules, but I still get a new form for each submit.

Making the form fully trusted so I can save on subsequent views instead of submitting is not a viable option. And neither is saving from the file menu because it doesn't enforce required fields.

Do I have to ignore my users' requirement to close InfoPath?

Thanks, Steph
