# IsNew Property

A read-only property that returns a Boolean value that indicates whether a newly created Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 form has been saved.

expression.IsNew

expression Required. An expression that returns a reference to an XDocument object.

## Security Level

2: Can be accessed only by forms running in the same domain as the currently open form, or by forms that have been granted cross-domain permissions.

## Remarks

If the IsNew property is True, data in the form's underlying XML document has not been saved since the form was initially created. If False, the data in the new form's underlying XML document has been saved.

## Example

In the following example, the IsNew property of the XDocument object is used to determine whether the data in a new form has been saved:

    if (XDocument.IsNew)
       XDocument.UI.Alert("Please save your form.");
    else
       return;
