Find Infopath URL

Hi,

I would like to store the URL of each individual xml doc in a field. The value of this field would be accessed by another form via a data connection dependent on certain criteria. So for example if I have a list of country flags saved onto a xml doc, when I opened the country information form there would be a button coded to perform a lookup and open the corresponding form containg the flag. A fiarly simplistic example but the main reaon I'm trying to find a way of directly accessing the form url is because using concat() is creating errors when some of the file names contains "&" or spaces.

What I'm really asking therefore is there a way of accessing the Address (URL) value that is displayed on the properties form of each individual xml form? (see image)

Ideally I would have liked to avoid having to build the url, was hoping there was a system field that could accessed. Unfortunatly I can't get around the funky character side of things so instead I've decided to add the url's manually, initially I was fixed with the idea of using some sort of lookup or concatenation to populate the URL field but because there is a finite number of forms that will remain relatively static once created I am able to live with the manual option.

This answer doesn't actually show me how to do what I was trying to do but does show me that it can't be done the way I was trying to do it and I would have to except a compromise - although it may be a case of digging a bit deeper to find that it is possible.
