InfoPath Dev

 This is entirely possible in InfoPath, but you need to put the data in a format that InfoPath will understand.  This is a little tricky when the original data is in Excel.  I created and ran an XSL transform on the data in your spreadsheet to produce the attached XML file.  This can then be added as a secondary data source in ...

Thanks for replying Frederik, Currently I have my forms setup like you have explained in your blog post. (to prompt the user to save on close.) I was hoping I had overlooked something and there was a way I could auto-save on close without the prompt! (just one less hoop for the end-user)

look into the data sources and check if any of the data fields are having a red * suffixed. Also might be you have some data validations set on. attach the template so that we can have a look at it
