Set the return page when InfoPath form is closed on the browser

In many secinarios i needed to set the page i want to open when the user closes the InfoPath form (browser enabled), after invistigating the browser enabled forms URL i found an intersting parameter, it is "Source".

the standard form url will be in the following form

http://londonmoss:36969/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XsnLocation=http://londonmoss:36969/Forms/Forms/template.xsn&SaveLocation=http%3A%2F%2Flondonmoss%3A36969%2FForms&Source=http%3A%2F%2Flondonmoss%3A36969%2FReports%2FForms%2Fcurrent%2Easpx&DefaultItemOpen=1

you can just change the value for the "Source" paramter to whatever URL (must be in the same site collection) and in encoded format.

that's it Smile

any comments?

That's an EXCELLENT find.  I've always told clients it's not possible and they accepted it, but it's nice to know it can be done and doesn't seem too hard.

If you have time, please post a screen shot demonstrating how you configure it.
