Is it possible to retrieve the location (ex. URL of sharepoint site) where
the form has been downloaded. I use the same form in many sites, and don't
want to have to go into each form to modify the submit location.

thanks,

Hi John,

If you have "published" and InfoPath solution (XSN) to Sharepoint and you
want to find out the Sharepoint library/XSN that a form in that library is
bound to, you can use the following code:

XDocument.Solution.URI

As an example, if I published a form to: http://server/site/myFolder
executing the above line of code would return:

http://server/site/myFolder/Forms/template.xsn

Obviously, if you did not need the information all the way to the XSN you
could parse the returned path to get what you want.

I hope this helps!

thanks for the response. But with the limited string functions from xpath and
xslt, how would the parse code look like?

thanks,

Hi John,

I was referring to using "script" (i.e. JScript) to get what you need. For
instance, using the same URL sample for publishing your InfoPath template:

http://server/site/myFolder

Executing this script:

var strURI = XDocument.Solution.URI;
var strFormLib = strURI.substr(0, strURI.indexOf("template.xsn"));

Returns:

http://server/site/myFolder/Forms/

Whereas modifying the script to:

var strURI = XDocument.Solution.URI;
var strFormLib = strURI.substr(0, strURI.indexOf("Forms/template.xsn"));

Returns:

http://server/site/myFolder/

Does this help you?

Do you have a way of doing this in IF 2007. I need the address of the site
the form is loaded not the location of the form template.

Thanks in advance

Paul
