Hi Hilary,

Thank you for your advice and support.

Based on your information, I created a new view to close/exit the form via a button. If the condition: field1 != field2 then switch to the close form view (which displays a Close form button) enabling the user to close and exit the InfoPath form.

Again, Thanks for Your Help/Support!

I'm pretty sure this is a limitation of the InfoPath object model - kinda like how you can't use a rule to change a view based on a field change and also can't do that in code. I'm pretty sure you'll get an "Invalid context for OM call" error.

Hilary,

Thank you for your response. I now remember that I was using a button in the 2007 version to close the form. Is there a way I can close a form based on field conditions. If there is a way via code can you provide a sample of th4 code that could be used?

Thanks in Advance,

Rodman

I'm wondering if your rules are on a field instead of a button? Buttons have the Close the form action - but fields do not....

Close an InfoPath Form

Hello,

Using InfoPath 2010, I am trying to close a form based on a condition. I tried to create an action rule, based on a condition for example: if field 1 is not equal to field2 then close/exit InfoPath.

I was not able to find a “Close the form” InfoPath Action which does exist in InfoPath 2007.

Can anyone suggest/provide a solution?

Thanks in Advance,
