Hi Al,
I haven't done any authorize.net integrations myself, but I would imagine they have some sort of a callback mechanism like other payment gateways. e.g. PayPal has what they call "IPN" ("Instant Payment Notification") which submits a request to your server after a successful payment. You can use this to trigger Form Tools to finalize the submission in your database.
This may seem a little off-topic, but you might want to give the PayPal integration tutorial a quick read through. The details are for PayPal, but most payment gateways would work the same way - so maybe you can salvage the info for your integration?

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
