expression.PerformSaveOperation()

expression Required. An expression that returns a reference to a SaveEvent 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

The PerformSaveOperation method performs a "save" or "save as" operation depending on the value of the IsSaveAs property of the SaveEvent object. If the operation is successful, the IsDirty property of the XDocument object is set to False and the PerformSaveOperation method returns True.

Note This object model member is not supported when the Disable Service Pack features option on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box in InfoPath is selected or when Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 1 or later is not installed. Any form that implements this object model member in its code will generate an error message if it is opened in InfoPath when service pack features are disabled or unavailable.

## Example

In the following example, the PerformSaveOperation method of the SaveEvent object is used to save the form using the internal definition of save.

    eventObj.PerformSaveOperation();
