Infopath form save to Folder Selection

A

Andrew Alger

Okay I have a dropdown. I need to populate it with a list of folder names in
sharepoint. When the user submits the Infopath form I need it to save to
that specified folder.

Questions are

1) How can i Populate a dropdown with a list of folder names in sharepoint.

2) How can i tell it to save the form to that specific folder.

Any help would be appreciated.

I do not remember off hand but you can list folders in Sharepoint. You can
also save via code.
For simplicity I often recommend that you try to leave the legacy folder
organization behind and try using fields and views in Sharepoint to organize
your data.
You can setup a type field or whatever and then have views which just show
forms labeled of a certain type. You can use the grouping in the view to
give the same user experience as folders but is much simpler and easier to
maintain then creating subfolders.

You can put multiple submit to Sharepoint data connections and then use
logic to pick which one to submit the form to.

I understand the simplicity sake but I am going by client requirements. They
want the infopath forms saved in folders based on what the user selects in a
dropdown. Do you have any suggestions to do it the way I mentioned
previously? Fill in a dropdown with the names of the folders in sharepoint
and then save the form to the specific folder. I have what i think will do
part B i am just not 100% on part a.
