Create document names on Submit

[Paresh]

Hi,

I have created a browser based form. In that I would like to have a
custom submit functionality.
I would like to create my own document names using some custom logic.
I do not want to give users an option to provide their own document
names for saving documents in MOSS document / form library.
Rather I would like to have something like when a user clicks submit
button on the IP form, the application automatically generates the
document name and the form is saved using this name into the document
library.

Any pointers in this direction?

Regards,
Paresh

Hello Paresh

Do you want to create a Form name based on some Fields value in your Form or
you want a GUID Kind of thing which is unique for every form

Kalyan, I want to create document names depending on certain field
values in my form. I don't need any GUID sort of a thing.

Suggestion:

I usually add a hidden text field to the form data structure called formName
and in this field I specify the name of the form as the defaut value. When I
am setting up my submit rules where it says the filename for the form then I
pick "function" then "concat" and I do something like:

formName employeeName reviewDate

[asuming there is an employee name and review date field in the form]
So when it gets submitted the filename is:

ReviewJohnSmithdate

BonusTip:

when you put the value in the formName hidden field use an underscore
character on the end so your final filename in the library will be like this:

Review_JohnSmithDate.
