cheason,

That actually what I ended up doing. (Creating a field and storing the name in the list).
Seems odd to have to have to store the name of the file within the file itself, but it works.

Or keep it simple by setting a 'filename' variable on form open to something like this :-

concat(FirstName, "-", today(), "-", substring(now(), 12, 2), substring(now(), 15, 2))

Will result in something like :- Jason-2010-10-25-1430

Hi, you can do that with some codes you can add an onLoad event and add this C# code:

string caption = this.Application.ActiveWindow.Caption;
this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("XPATHNODE").SetValue(caption);

Get Current FileName

How do you get the current name of a file when opening a document to edit in info path. I want to get the name "FileName-1-2.xml" into a field on the form.

When viewing the form through a web-browser I can seen the name of the file as the "Title" in on the HTML page. Furthermore, I can see the name of the file is stored in the "Name" field on the document library columns.

So how can I get that "Name" field into a field on the form when I open the form???

This seems like it should be a simple task/function.
