https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23430210/creating-a-custom-save-button-in-an-infopath-form has a little snippet for manipulating the save file dialog.

Here's some MSDN docs that may be helpful - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/infopath-form/aa947412(v%3Doffice.15)

Thank-you! You don't happen to have a code snippet for saving a the form to a network drive location?

No - only the developer. End users will have to have .NET Programmability Support installed with their InfoPath filler installations tho - that didn't used to be enabled by default, but I think these days it is. You can check by finding InfoPath in your programs & features and walking through changing the installation - or search of .NET Programmability Support for InfoPath and you can probably find some screenshots / blog posts.

From code components - required on users' workstations?

Hello,

So far I've been able to do everything I need with InfoPath without writing any code. I would like to create a Save button that saves the form to a network drive. From what I've found, it appears I need to write some code to do this.
When I go to start editing code for my new button, I get the error below that I am missing programming components.

My question is; does everyone else who uses the form have to download and install the components (see listbelow):

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012
Microsoft .NET Framwork 3.5
