How can a Submit button be programmed to updated the file name of the
form--using data from the form itself--when submitting?

Background: User enters a unique number in a field that we would like to use
at the beginning of the form's file name.

Thanks

Woody,

If you are submitting to a Document Library say in Sharepoint, then you
could use the submit rather than the Save option then use fields of your
choice to concatenate the submission EG: concat("your text -," field1)

Breb: We'll give it a try. The goal would be to have the form saved with a
concatenated file name and then sent via email to the manager. This solution
might require a change to that process.

Woody,

The data connection that you would have created to submit the form has
an option to provide a custom name to the file. This name can consist
of XPath functions and/ or data from any of your form fields.

Thanks,
