Data connection failing

CW

I'm using a request/reject workflow for a purchase request form. The
requestor submitas the file to a WSS library and sends an email with a
link to the file to an approver.

The first request writes the file fine which also sends an emial to the
approver (2 data connections one to email, one to WSS. The second write
when the approver approves the purchase, also 2 data connections, one
to send email with link to the file and one to overwrite the file to
(ie: creating another version) I get the following "some rules were
not applied error:

"InfoPath cannot submit the form.
An error occurred while the form was being submitted.
The form cannot be submitted to the following location:
http://sharepoint/sites/eed/Purchase Request/Bob_2006-08-23_$151.58.xml
The file is in use by another application or user."

This is obviously saying the write didn't take.

Anyone have good reasons to explain theis behavoir? The data connection
specifies the file can be overwritten if existing.

Update. Seems you have to actually click the save buttion then close
the file and itsticks. The data connection submit to a WSS library with
existing same name doesn't sem to work.

There always has to be one caveat somewhere doesn't there? You can't
just create something and have it work, nope there's always a fly in
the ointment.
