InfoPath Forms Services - What happens after a form is closed

Posted Thursday, March 08, 2007 5:33 PM by Itay Shakury

Here is a little tip - How to redirect users to a certain page after they have filled out a browser enabled form with InfoPath Forms Services (IPFS):
You should look for the "source" query string parameter in the form's URL, and change it to you certain page.
That's it! every click on the "Close" button on IPFS toolbar, every rule you have insert that closes the form (i.e. in the submit button), or every other closing of the form will navigate the user to the URL in the "source" parameter.

This way, you can hide the actual form library in MOSS, and give the user only a direct link to fill out the form. After filling out the form the user will be redirected back to the page without going through the form library.

I didn't want to bother you with a stupid question - but I'm going insane trying to figure this out.

Where exactly to you modify the URL for the form?

I'm wanting to redirect the user to a different page if the user closes it, rather than submits.

I'm also using the XmlFormView to display a form based on a template in a sharepoint site.

But I'm at a loss as to where you modify the source parameter in the form?

If you can elaborate it would help me out a great deal.

Is there a way to redirect after submit to another URL outside of a Sharepoint site collection, outside of SharePoint entirely?
