Found it.

public void FormEvents_Save(object sender, SaveEventArgs e) { string userPrincipalName = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("//my:userPrincipalName", NamespaceManager).InnerXml; string projectName = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("//my:project", NamespaceManager).InnerXml; string startDate = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("//my:startDate", NamespaceManager).InnerXml; if (this.New || e.IsSaveAs == false) { if (e.IsSaveAs) { this.SetSaveAsDialogLocation(@"c:\temp"); this.SetSaveAsDialogFilename(userPrincipalName + "_" + projectName + "_" + startDate); } e.CancelableArgs.Cancel = false; e.PerformSaveOperation(); } else { e.CancelableArgs.Message = "This functionality has been disabled."; e.CancelableArgs.MessageDetails = "Only new forms can use the 'Save As' functionality."; } }

VB:

        Public Sub FormEvents_Save(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SaveEventArgs)

            If Me.[New] OrElse e.IsSaveAs = False Then
                If e.IsSaveAs Then
                    Me.SetSaveAsDialogLocation("c:\temp")
                    Me.SetSaveAsDialogFilename("TESTING")
                End If
                e.CancelableArgs.Cancel = False
                e.PerformSaveOperation()
            Else
                e.CancelableArgs.Message = "This functionality has been disabled."
                e.CancelableArgs.MessageDetails = "Only new forms can use the 'Save As' functionality."
            End If

        End Sub

Best practice is to use a submit data connection so that the file name is standardized and cannot be changed by the user.

You can then create a dynamic file name from fields in the form.
