Example

In the following example, which is written in the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language, the Quit method of the ExternalApplication object is used to quit the InfoPath application:

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Public Sub AutomateInfoPathForm()

Dim objIP As Object


'Create a reference to the ExternalApplication object.
Set objIP = CreateObject("InfoPath.ExternalApplication")


'Open an InfoPath form.
objIP.Open ("C:\My Forms\Form1.xml")
MsgBox ("The InfoPath form has been opened.")


'Close the InfoPath form.
objIP.Close ("C:\My Forms\Form1.xml")
MsgBox ("The InfoPath form has been closed.")


'Quit the InfoPath application.
objIP.Quit
MsgBox ("The InfoPath application has been closed.")
