Oh you bet! I've attached a zip folder with the signing cert & instructions. :)

Hilary Stoupa:
You'll need to make the form full trust and sign it with a code signing cert (I have one I use that doesn't expire till 2036 & I am happy to share it with you). You can use a field value or something to make the name dynamic, or just maybe use a date time string? Like:
string filename = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMDDHHmm");
this.SaveAs(string.Format("c:\\forms\\{0}.xml", filename));

Hi Hilary, I am in exactly the same situation as srg88, was just wondering whether it would be possible to take advantage of your extremely generous offer? Dale

I need the ability to save filled out forms locally to people's laptops/tablets while out in the field (offline), then submit the forms when they are back in the office (attached to the network). In my InfoPath 2013 I created the form and added a "Save" button to the form. I added the following code to that Save button: _____________________________________ if(this.New) { this.SaveAs("c:\\forms\\form1.xml"); } else { this.Save(); } _____________________________________ This code works... and creates a file called "form1.xml" when the Save button is clicked. The problem I'm having is how do I save the form with a unique filename each time so that users are not over-writing the same filename over and over? The second problem (which I haven't figured out yet) is that in preview mode in Infopath, I can click on the save button and it creates the form file with no problem or errors. When I fill out the form using InfoPath filler and click on the Save button I created, it gives me a bunch of security errors, and won't create the file. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
