how do I save an infopath form automatically?

[Dennis L]

I want to save a copy of a form automatically when the user clicks Submit. I
concatonated values from three other fields to created a field that contains
the name I want to use for the form. I can't fine a "save" function to attach
to a button. I'm using IP 2007.

Hello,

You need to add a Submit option. In the Toosl menu, Submit options, fill
out the appropriate details depending on where you want to save the form
(SharePoint library, email, etc). If you want something more advanced you
can write .NET code instead.

HTH

Gavin.

Thanks, but I'm not quite there yet. I have created a field where I
concatonate the values to three other fields. When the user clicks the
"Submit" button I added, I want IP to submit the data to a database and
automatically save the form itself to a SharePoint library with the
concatonated title, without the user having to do anything more.

Just create two data connections - one to the database and one to the SP
library

Both can be done on the same submit button

If yoru form was not created from a dataconnection initially, you may need
to recreate.

If your databse is SQL, you must have an identify or primary key to submit
as well

Thanks Art and Gavin. I did this a couple of years ago, but had forgotten how
I did it. Thanks for rebooting my memory.
