Hi, there is a tip for that, if you had "source" on the query string parameter in the form's URL it will redirect you on this url after closing the form.

I have a site page that has an infopath browser based form on it. How can I redirect the user somewhere else, lets say the root of the site, instead of just displaying "the form was closed" when they hit the submit button? Right now I have the submit button redirect them to a different view with a hyperlink, but when you click the hyperlink it opens a new window. I want it to use the same window. /p this didn't make much sense. /p Here is a little tip - How to redirect users to a certain page after they have filled out a browser enabled form with InfoPath Forms Services (IPFS): You should look for the "source" query string parameter in the form's URL, and change it to you certain page. That's it! every click on the "Close" button on IPFS toolbar, every rule you have insert that closes the form (i.e. in the submit button), or every other closing of the form will navigate the user to the URL in the "source" parameter.
