MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / March 2006File name?
I get the message below when I try and submit more than one form to the form library. The first submitted ok, but then I get the error: A value in the form may be used to specify the file name. If you know the value in the form that specifies the file name, revise it and try again. Otherwise, contact the author of the form template. How do I fix this? What filenames are you saving your forms as? Sounds like you are trying to use the same filename more than once.

Hi Greg, I've just called it 'Form', I assumed that the forms would then be saved in the form library repository as Form1, Form2, etc etc..Do I need to change the name to something else for multiple copies of the form to be saved? thanks, Simon > What filenames are you saving your forms as?

So if you are naming it "Form" each time, then you are overwriting (if allowed) the previous "Form". You need to give more detail to the filename to prevent duplicate filenames.

Sounds like you are trying to use the same filename more than once. Hi Greg, I have a similar problem. I have a field in my form which is the file name. I am choosing a unique file name each time. It submits fine by email but when the mail send window closes, I get the error message below meaning it is not posting to the share site. Can you help?

Sounds like you are trying to use the same filename more than once. You have not provided enough information to evaluation your situation--other than it sounds like your sharepoint submit code needs to be debugged. Or perhaps you do not have the permissions to save to SP that you think you do. SignatureGreg Collins [InfoPath MVP] Visit http://www.InfoPathDev.com Hi Greg, I have a similar problem.

Hi Greg, My question is slightly different. In the original post part of the message Simon gets is "A value in the form may be used to specify the file name. " Does that mean that there is a way to make the default filename to whatever the value of a particular field is? (Which is what I'd like to do.) Or does is this simply a suggestion for what to name the file? I would like to if it is possible to programmatically set the name of the form by clicking a button or after fill in a particular field.... Can this be done? > What filenames are you saving your forms as? Sounds like you are trying to use the same filename more than once. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > How do I fix this? If you are "submitting" your form, and not just "saving" it, you can specify, as part of the submit, a field value to be used as the filename.
