Hello, I am new to Livecycle Designer 8.0. I have created a form that my staff basically enter hospital, date, and marks fields with a check mark and then presses the submit E-Mail key. I have the form set to read only when pressing the email button so that the information is not editable to the recipient(s). My issue is the staff now have to close the PDF and state "NO" to save. I would like to have them to click on an EXIT button that will close the form without saving. Can someone help me with this? I would appreciate any help.

Tomp, thank you for the information, I tried to put the code mentioned above and it does not close the form. Please see an excerpt of my script. Do I need to change anything or add something. Again, thanks for your help.Quit<?templateDesigner StyleID apbx2?>event.target.closeDoc(true);

The most important bit for writing scripts in a LiveCycle form is to make sure the script type is set to JavaScript, and that the script is placed in the correct location. This is a one liner so there is not much that can go wrong. Have you checked the console window to see if there are any reported errors?
Method #1:
This method adds a special Exit button to the form.
Add a button, and on the button put this code into the Click Event:
event.target.closeDoc(true);
*******************************
Method #2:
This method tells Acrobat to ignore changes on the PDF so that closing the form does not display the Save Warning when the user clicks on the standard close button. But only after they click on the email button.
On your email button place this script on the MouseUp event
event.target.dirty = false;
*****************************
For both methods make sure to set the script type to JavaScript.
