Save At Open

[JR]

basically, i want a form to be saved every time it is opened.

my first reaction was to go to:
tools -> form options -> open and save
but the option to save is not under the open behavior rules (nor is the
option to write your own code).

any ideas ??

thanks!

Apologies if this is a silly question, but isn't the form already saved when
it's first opened? i.e. no changes have been made to the original document.
If you're running scripts when the file is opened, can't you just add a
savefile command to the end of the last of these to run?

I'm sure there is more to this, but if you can say what that is, you're more
likely to get a helpful answer.

Ray, sorry, i suppose i should have been more specific.

i have a field, called "Popularity," that increments whenever the form is
opened...therefore, if the user does not save that form, the new value is
lost.

how would i be able to run scripts when the form is open?? do you know !?

i appreciate your response, Ray.

I think what you're looking for is under Tools -> Programming -> On Load
Event...

You'll need to write a short script to save the document and I'm afraid I'm
no expert on JScript, though I suspect there is a single command that can be
used. I hope this isn't too late, I've just been away for a short hoiday!
