Hi,

I have an infopath form that is published to a document list. When I go the
list and click on New, I get an infopath form. When I submit, it submits
successfully to the database. I have to dataconnections, one to the database
and the other to the sharepoint. But I see that it is not automaticallly
saved to the sharepoint. I want a copy to be saved to the list even without
asking for the save option. It currently asks me for the save option and when
i say No, no copy is available even though I have an entry in the database. I
need help !

I want this in two ways for two of my forms:

1) display the form for future opening and edits

2) Just display the info that someone has entered information for me to go
and check in the database

Please help!! This is very urgent. I put this requrest in MSDN forums with
now help.

Thanks in advance.

You need to create a submit data connection to your library.
And then add a second submit to your button so that it saves to Sharepoint
when it does to the data base.

You need to be carefull however as the database data and the saved form can
get out of sync unless you refresh when the form is opened.

Got it! Thanks a lot! Its just that in submit options, I had to add two rules
using custom options. One to submit to db and the second to share point.
