That trick in itself is worth is weight in gold since it gives you the option to hijack the SP default functions until PreSaveFunction() evaluates to TRUE.
If I recall, Marc A even used it to create folders with unique names making great use of SPServices requireunique utility functionand UpdateLIstItems

Can you use the same tricks when:
#1 using the DVWP and inserting items as multiple items forms (ref. Laura’s article 1st part)
#2 the user decides to bulk create items using the DataSheet view?

Many thanks for sharing!

But, yeah, let’s flip it over to STP to work out the details. (You may find yourself posting an article from the results. :) )

Just now getting a chance to read this section and fired some thoughts. Advise if I’m way off base here.

Could the Edit Forms in a Task list (generated from an existing workflow) use the PreSaveAction??

Here’s the scenario. We’ve deployed several InfoPath forms which have SPD workflows (Sharepoint 2007). Three of these workflows move forms to an “approved” or “rejected” library (different document library in the same site route). I’ve recently written secondary workflows to manually move these forms, because the managers often forget to close the InfoPath forms before approving. When this happens, the workflow with either record Stopped or Error Occurred and show that the form is checked out/locked for editing by the manager. I have a wait for Checked Out to To Be Empty step in the workflow in one of them, in others I’ve got a pause for 15 minutes (waiting for form to be closed)… neither one seems to prevent all of these errors.

So I was wondering after reading your post here if it would be possible to pop up a message to the managers to close the InfoPath form before they hit “Complete Task”. If there’s an easier way to do this, please advise. As a one-woman Sharepoint team of an organization with 500 users, it’s difficult to keep all of these forms where they need to go.

The other possible solution I’ve thought of (but don’t know how to implement) is to have the task email (customized) actual display the content of the form instead of a link to the form. The InfoPath forms can contain attachments (word, excel, pdf, jpg, etc) that would need to be viewable as well for this work. But I haven’t figured out a way to do that.

I need a solution that does not require Visual Studio (I am NOT a programmer, nor do I have one at my disposal).

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me on this. If I need to post this in Stump the Panel, just let me know where, and I’ll gladly do so.
