I have an interactive form that is submitted via email. When saving a completed they get the Save As dialog box that prevents them from saving over the original form. However, what happens is that they have completed the form and then used the Close button at the top right which prompts them to Save Before Closing and is they choose yes replaces the original form.

Thanks for Any Help,

Hello,

you can avoid overwriting the form when closing the form.
The trick is to control the 'dirty flag'.
It tells the application, if a change has been made to the form.
If so, you're asked if you wish to save changes.
You can reset the flag with a script.

var MyDoc = event.target;MyDoc.dirty = false;

This is only the base script.
You will have to bundle it with an events the user will generally use/create/do.

I made a example form for this task.
