Hi all,

how to generate a file name automatically??

my case in details:-

I design form-template in InfoPath and publish it to FormsServer (a service in SharePoint) and then i have a XmlFormView control in my ASPX page which renders an instance of the template already designed and published, the user in my application then fill out this form and then he can submit it (use the submit button that comes with the form toolbar) or save it (use the save or save as button).. after submitting or saving the form a pop-up appears prompting the user for the FILE NAME, and then the form will be saved back in FormsServer under the name "FILE NAME". the problem here is that i dont have access to the FILE NAME coz it's the last step before saving the form, plus the pop-up prompting user for FILE NAME is created by the FormServer so i dont have access to it!

what i'm looking for is to have the form in my ASPX page with a SUBMIT button only (without save, save as, update, ...etc) and when a user click on that submit button a FILE NAME is generated automatically without prompting user to enter a FILE NAME. can i have this done?? is it InfoPath responsible for creating an Auto-Generated name by using rules or other feature?? is it FormsServer responsible for craeting an auto-generated name?? what other options i can have to generat such a FILE NAME???

note that i dont have VSTA, but if it is needed (required) to achieve this goal, plz tell me!

thanks.

also, for my application, users are able to design a  form and publish it to forms server, and plus they will fill the forms displayed on web browser, they have much interference to the system....

i'm asking for a way to get the file name of that form before submitting it to forms server, even if its name is not auto-generated!! is there an event i can catch so that i can get the file name that a user typed while submitting?? is there a way to have that name programatically to save it in DB, and then i can know that this form is for this user????

i need ur help in that, plz provide me with some tips!!

thanks alot
