Active workflow and hitting the submit button twice

    Active workflow and hitting the submit button twice

    I think this is a simple question but i am having trouble wording it.

     

    Here is the simple try: 

     

     If you submit the same InfoPath form twice, and you have the overwrite box checked, will that mess up your progress on the current workflow?

     

    Here is the detailed try:

     

    Let's say a workflow kicks off when a InfoPath form is submitted. The second step is for someone to approve that form. so they open the form, click a custom approve button on the form to set a value of a field on the form. and then you want them to click a different custom form button that says "save" instead of using the ribbon save command. Now as for Infopath button actions you only really have submit. so you choose submit along with your option box to overwrite any forms with the same name. My question is "Will this screw up your workflow that you are in the middle of because it views the overwrite as a new form altogether and not as an update to an existing form?"

     

     Hope this makes sense.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    Matt
