Easy. Add a condition on your submit button so that it only submits if a field in the form is in a certain state.

I did find this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointinfopath/thread/3d243da8-25c1-42d0-b111-479498919f71?prof=required

but i'm not sure how to tweak the code for my own purposes. I'll try messing with it though.

closing form causes "do you want to submit" dialog box

more newbie stuff ...

I have a form that gets submitted by a user. This causes the form to be emailed to an approver.

The approver opens the email, and there's a button control on the form that the approver clicks, which then causes the form to get emailed to a 3rd person. This stuff is all working properly.

The problem occurs when that same approver goes to close the email after clicking the button, he gets prompted "Do you want to submit (subject of email)"

If he clicks Yes, the form is then submitted a 2nd time (basically duplicating the original user's submission). Then it goes into a loop and keeps prompting "Do you want to submit"

If he clicks No, the form closes and life is good.

Any ideas?
