Value shouldn't have parentheses after it.

In order to access the local disk from code, as in this case, the form will need to be full trust.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm having a couple of problems which I hope are just because I'm not a C# developer and are therefore easy to fix! First, I get an error that in the expression

xnDoc.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field_name", this.NamespaceManager).Value();

namely "'Value' is a 'property' not a 'method'"

Second, if I try a test save with ...

this.SaveAs(@"C:\test");

Then I get a security event:

System.Security.SecurityException
Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

   at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Internal.XmlFormHost.SaveAs(String fileUrl)

   at DailyRoutineForm2.FormCode.CTRL55_5_Clicked(Object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
   at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Internal.ButtonEventHost.OnButtonClick(DocActionEvent pEvent)

I guess there a re some persmission that need to be changed - any suggestions? Thanks in advance

you can use a little bit of code behind to do the trick. create a field say field_name on your form. on the load of your form set its value to whatever your want.

drop a button on your form

and

XPathNavigator xnDoc = null;

xnDoc = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();

string Doc_name =

xnDoc.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:field_name", this.NamespaceManager).Value();

this.save("your save location" + Doc_name);

I'd like to use Infopath to create a daily checklist. Creating the form has been very simple, but I'd like some help and advice about saving/submitting the data. I can see that Infopath is really designed for putting data into a central data store, especially Sharepoint, but that is not an option for me. Basically, I just need my colleagues to complete the forms and save them in a specific folder for later reference and/or archiving. How can one set a form to be saved to a sepcific folder, and with a specific calculated name (which I have in mind will be something like "checklist-<yy>-<mm>-<dd>"? I say "save" instead of "submit" because I get the impression that one can only submit to specialist data stores eg Sharepoint, databases.
