Thanks, I've managed to get it to work now with the code

XmlDocument oDOM = new XmlDocument();

Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.IXMLDOMDocument oWrappedDOM = thisXDocument.DOM;

oDOM.PreserveWhitespace = true;

oDOM.LoadXml(oWrappedDOM.xml);

oDOM.Save("C:\\Submit\\Form_"

+ DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy.MM.dd_HH.mm.ss.ff") + ".xml");

I just need now to close the form and open a clean form up.

Our qRules product has a function built in that lets you easily create a GUID: http://www.qdabra.com/en/products/qRules.aspx

We've already done the code for you.

If you need a uniuqe name you could generate a GUID using code or you could generate a unique name but concatenating some of the fields in the form with a data/time stamp, that should end up being pretty unique as one of the timestamps in InfoPath is to the milisecond

Hope that helps!

Hi Folks,

I'm in need of a littlehelp.

I've got a form that submits to a SQL Database, its working perfectly fine - however, I need to get the form to work on handheld devices that are not connected to the network.

What i'd like, is a custom button on the last view that saves the for to the C:\ as a .xml file so that when they come back onlne they can run a script i have that will open up and submit the forms.

So, I've got the button and i've got some code behind it that saves the form to the local drive. The part i'm stuck on, is giving the saved form a unique name.

the code i'm using is this.SaveAs("C:\\SavedForm.xml");

Thank in advance for any help you can offer.

Iri.
