I would like to setup a web service so Infopath 2007 can access AD
information, I tried to use the tutorial supplied by David Fries
http://blogs.msdn.com/davfries/archive/2004/06/29/169043.aspx
but without success.
Is there any up to date 'step by step' tutorials that's specific for this
task?
Thanks

Error Submitting InfoPath Form to XML Web Service Office Hi, I am trying to publish a Browser-enabled Infopath form to a Forms Server 2007 environment but have come across a problem that I The Web Service contains 2 methods - PopulateForm and SubmitForm. The PopulateForm returns a Dataset to Infopath and The SubmitForm accepts a Dataset back again. The InfoPath form contains a RepeatingSection with standard Textbox and DateTime Controls.

User with Presence Office I'm creating my first InfoPath form. I'm using InfoPath 2003 (with SP1) and submitting the data to SharePoint 2007. I've hooked up a DropDownList control to display a List from SharePoint (using a secondary datasource) and that works fine. I can expose the field to SharePoint and it will display the chosen value in the FormLibrary. I'm now trying to do the same thing for a user name. However the People or Groups in Sharepoint don't appear as a List. I'm guessing I need another secondary datasource but I don't know how to hook it up to the People in SharePoint. Also when the chosen value is shown in the FormLibrary, I would like it to like the built-in column called "Modified By". Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Is Infopath the right tool for me? What basics do I need to learn? Office Example project managers who do not comply within the targeted time period. Then I found out about Infopath. Our organization has a mix of Office2003 and Office 2007. I read a bunch of the newbie questions, but those seem to be more about how to use Infopath, rather than / whether / to use it for particular scenarios. So here are some questions: * I m assuming I can link an Infopath form to a source database; can I further screen it so that only managers with test, the results, and any comments. * How much of this process can be automated in Infopath? Once we have the list of employees (for example, a list of employee IDs), could we just feed that in to Infopath and have the rest of it automatically happen? * Can Infopath automatically send reminders (and flag the administrator) for delinquent requests based on a ruleset (e 10 days)? I welcome any information or advice; including whether this is too basic for infopath (or too complex for a novice user to set up in infopath) meaning should I
