I'm not using the Submit button but rather just the "Save" button under Form Options. If I use the submit, the data gets stored in the SharePoint list but the .xml file does not. When you use the "Save" button, the user is prompted to enter a filename. This is the step I'm looking to avoid.

Hope that helps

Hi,

In Submit OptionsàAdvancedàAfter Submit: drop down, select 'Create a New, Blank form'. This will Save the form and opens the New, Blank form.

About File Name, I implemented the same as you given. It is not asking me to enter file name. Can you give me more details on this.

Hello all, first the background.

I'm using SharePoint 2007 Enterprise, InfoPath 2007. I have a Web Part page in SharePoint that displays an InfoPath form. When the user clicks on the save button, I would like the form to create the file with a unique filename (something like concat("Request-", now()) ), then automatically close and re-open a new form for data entry.

Where I'm at.

I have a form that is displayed in the SharePoint web part and when the user fills it out and clicks the Save button the user is prompted to enter a file name. Once they do, the .xml file is successfully created in the SharePoint form library. It does not automatically name the file with a unique name and when finished, the users data remains on the page. I don't want to just use the Close feature as it returns the user to the SharePoint Form Library.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

David
