Is there a way to configure a form so that it is automatically saved whenever
the user submits the form? I guess it would be possible with some custom code
for submit actions.  Anybody have some sample code?

BTW, I have a form that will reside in a Sharepoint list, but also writes to
a database.  I don't want people to be able submit the form without also
saving it -- otherwise the list and the database could end up out-of-sync.

Many Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

you can create a Data Connection and set a rule to the Submit button
with the "Submit using a data connection" action. Then form will be
saved automatically when user clicked the Submit.
