On single Submit button click, submit the details and also link to a different form.

[Ankit Tyagi]

Is there any method to have the functionality that on submit button click
the form should SUBMIT the details and as well as open a new DIFFRENT form.
I want both the functionalities on one click.
In the submit options there is an option to create a new blank form but it
opens the SAME BLANK form, but what i want is a link to another form.
And i think infopath does not allow to make a button a hyperlink too.
So please help me out to achieve the required functionality

Try the following:
- Add a button to your form
- Open its properties dialog box
- Select "Submit" under "Actions"
- In the "Submitting Forms" dialog box, select "Enable Submit commands and
buttons"
- Select "Custom submit using rules" in the "Submit to" listbox
- Click on the [Rules...] button
- Click on [Add...] in the "Rules for Submitting Forms" dialog box
- Click on [Add Action...] in the "Rule" dialog box
- Select "Open a new form to fill out" from the "Action" drop down list box
- Type in the location of the form that should be opened in the "Form ID or
Location" text field. So if you have a form with name "template1.xsn" located
at c:\temp\test that you would like to be opened when the button is clicked,
then type in c:\temp\test\template1.xsn

Try it out. Is this what you were looking for?
