Re: How to reserve the original filename during the submisson in InfoPath 2003

For my case, I use the jscript to resolve the problem. See the coding below

function XDocument::OnSubmitRequest(eventObj)
{
     //The acutal filepath
    //XDocument.UI.Alert("Location " + XDocument.URI);

   var filepath, filename;
   filepath = XDocument.URI
   //Get only the filename from Windows local drive
   filename = filepath.substring(filepath.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1);


var strUrl = "YOUR SHAREPOINT ADDRESS"
var folderName = "SPECIFIC FOLDER"

    var xnFolderName = folderName;
    var xnLocation = strUrl;


    //Get a reference to the submit data connection
    var fc = XDocument.DataAdapters["Submit to SharePoint"];

    //Modify the Submit connection URL we want to submit to by concatenating the
    //xnLocation and xnFolderName values
    fc.FolderURL = xnLocation + "/" + xnFolderName;
    //Use Original filename rather than DataConnection filename
    fc.FileName = filename;


    //Execute the submit connection

    try
    {
        fc.Submit();
        eventObj.ReturnStatus = true;
    }
    catch(ex)
    {
        thisXDocument.UI.Alert("The following error has occured: " + ex.DetailedErrorMessage);
        eventObj.ReturnStatus = false;
    }
}

Thanks

How to reserve the original filename during the submisson in InfoPath 2003

Hi guys,

I am new to InfoPath. I am using InfoPath 2003 and doing Form submit to Sharepoint server.

Can I bypass the filename naming in "Data connections" (somehow it is mandatory and only allow you to get values from the schema) and using the original filename as the filename during submission via programming?

Any idea about this? Thank you so much!

Have a nice day,

Brian.
