Submitting/Saving a new Version of a form

[owenmj]

Apologies if this is not the correct discussion group...

I have created a form in Infopath that is linked to a Shareopint Form Library
Once my form has been submitted I want to be able edit it and save it back
as a new version in Sharepoint however, the changes are not stored...

Should I be re-submitting the form or saving the form in order to create a
new version of my form

Any suggestions??

When you say you are trying to "save it back" are you replacing the
existing form with your changes when your re-publish your form?

I have a "Submit" button on my form that creates the form name on submission.
When a user fills in the form and submits it the form name is created and
the form submits correctly.

If the user then adds more information (i.e. Checks out the form to edit) to
this filled in form a new version should be created when they click submit
but the name stays the same.

When the user Checks the form back in a new version is created but the
changes are lost....

Hope that clarifies things a little

Ensure that in the data connections wizard, "Allow overwrite if form exists" is checked.

If you don't wanna do this then, when user edits/updates the form and re-submits it, ensure that the name of the form is different/changed.
The field which is linked to form name shud also be updated when the form is edited/updated.
