Inserting a "Save as" button

[REDDEJE]

Hi there,

I would like to include a "Save as" button at the end of my form. Not sure what the javascript is for this. I have created the button, i'm in Script Editor and have selected "postSave", not sure what's next...

Thanks in advance for your reply.

On the click event of that button you will want to add the code app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"). This will bring up the saveAs dialog and allow the user to choose the file to save the file under.

Thanks for the quick reply Paul. Forgive my ignorance but this program and the javascript is all very new to me.

Do I just paste "execMenuItem("SaveAs")" in the Script Editor box after select the Show option "click"?

Yes ...but the command is:

app.execMenuItem("SaveAs")

and make sure that you have set the language to Javascript (top right of the script editor).

Thank you so much Paul! Very helpful... Don't suppose you saw my other post about recipients being able to return forms anonymously? I've tried but cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks again!

Not sure I follow what you are trying to do....can you elaborate?

I would like to send a form to some internal clients (all same email and network) and allow them to return the form anonymously. I know it can't be done via email obviously, but I did read I might be able to use my SharePoint site somehow? I see that people post these forms on their websites. So if I wanted to do this, how does a user complete a form and submit it this way? I know this may be a huge question, if you have any helpful links or tutorials this would be great to help get me started.

Thanks!

They woudl have to have another means of getting the form back to you. You can provide a submit button where they can post the form back to a web server. A program woudl have to be written to recieve the form and do with it as you please. Another option would be to have a shared drive and simply copy/save the file into that folder or as you pointed out upload it to Sharepoint and use that as your shared folder. Note that the file will have the same name that you gave it so each user will have to create a unique name before it can be written to that shared loacation.

Does that make sense?
