Hi JL,

You have to change your folder path as below and try to save the file. Once again check below folder path is available or not in your system.

txtPath = "T:\Shared Folder\Emp InfoPath Forms\"

Thanks for replying Matt! I did what you suggested but now I'm getting the following error:
The following error occurred:

Object required: 'Template1'
File:script.vbs
Line:25

Does the code look correct? Thanks for your help!

Your form is using JScript for its codebehind but the sample was given in VBScript. You'll have to either convert your form or the sample, which depends on how comfortable you are with either language.

To convert the form, go to Tools -> Form Options -> Advanced -> Form code language = VBScript

The error message was this:
"InfoPath cannot create a new, blank form.
The form template is not valid."

Then when I show details in the error message box, it says the following:

"InfoPath cannot open the selected form because of an error in the form's code.
The following error occurred:

Expected ';'
File:script.js
Line:24
Dim txtPath"

Thanks!

I spoke too soon dpsavy! I get an error with the first dim statement. Here exactly what I typed:

Dim txtPath
Dim txtName

txtPath = "T:\Shared Folder\Emp InfoPath Forms"
txtName = "Employee.xml"

XDocument.SaveAS(txtPath & txtName)

Can you see what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

Hello JL,

Simple enough attach this code to the ONClick event of your submit button. Just set the txtPath to your shared folder, I would reccomend you use a unc path (i.e \\server\share\) rather than a mapped drive letter (i.e S:\share) this make it much more effiecent. I know at my command everyone's "S" drive is mapped differently but using a unc path ensures they get there. After that set the txtFile to a filename or maybe even a field in your form and your set.


Dim txtPath
Dim txtName

txtPath = "Path to your shared folder"
txtName = "Name of your file"

XDocument.SaveAS(txtPath & txtName)

Hope this Helps.

Send form to a shared folder on network

JLProgrammer — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 18:05:22 GMT

Is there a way to send a form that has been filled out to a shared folder on a network using a submit button? After the form is already filled out I want to send the form to a folder on my companies network for archiving.

Thanks for any ideas!
