I have some nice Inopath forms working, but I would love to be able to have
an easy lookup of on my forms for people such as requestors (in a purchase requisition requestor). When doing Sharepoint administration I can easily look up some who is in active directory and give them permissions by putting in a partial name or email userid and it automatically populates the rest. THere must be some way to invoke that same type of functionality into an InfoPath form. Thanks for anyone's help or pointers for where I can go. It would also be great to be able to prepopulate the requestor field with the person who opened the form. Jim |

Hi Jim.
I do this quite frequently and identifying the form user is very nice as well as being able to access email or group membership. Check out the Database Accelerator package of webservices at [url down] it includes an Active Directory Webservice as well as you can get it by itself. |

Jim,
The code in the article will be different for InfoPath 2003. The System.DirectoryServices namespace has been around for a while, so if you're using managed code (VB.NET or C#), you will be able to use it in older versions of .NET. Retrieving the user's name is also possible using .NET code. If you're using script (VBScript or JScript) there is a scripting language called ADSI that you could use to get data from Active Directory. All in all, retrieving info from AD is not easy, so if you go down that road, things might get bumpy... Tip: Do a search in the newsgroup on Active Directory; many people have tried to do what you are trying to do now. |

Hi, I used the code directly from the article that you referenced. I can get
the first part to work just fine but the ListAllProperties code keeps erroring out. I have started from scratch three times to make sure that I was copying the code correctly. I also had someone else try it and the same thing happened. It errors out in the for each userProperty loop at: xnPropertyName = xnPropertiesTable.SelectSingleNode( _ "my:PropertyName", ns) The error message is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Connie |
