Hi, I want to be able to submit a form to a WSS Form Library when it first
opens, without having it perform validation; can anyone tell me if this is
possible/how to accomplish it? I want to be able to have the form submit upon
opening using one data connection without validation, and then to submit
using another data connection with validation when the user clicks the submit
button. I want to do this in such a way that I don't have to edit the data
validation in each field to make this work.

Jake, I'm afraid there is no way to avoid having your validation run upon
submit. If there are any validation errors, submit will fail.

But, what you can do is use a save function instead of a submit function for
when the form is first opened to be able to save the form to the library
even with errors. Take a look at this documentation to get started:

hPerformSaveOperation_HV01103985.asp.
