Hi

I want to populate a dropdown with the current AD usernames. when a
selection is made the uers account name is stored in the field. I don't have
access to code and was hoping there is a OOTB web service that I could
interrogate

Has anyone done this?


Thanks

If you have SharePoint 2007, there is a web service that you can use or you
can get an installable AD web service that you can use without code form here.

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
Publishing InfoPath to SharePoint Office I am working on updating the InfoPath forms that we use to our new SharePoint 2.0 system and I have two questions. 1) We updated to SharePoint 2.0 and moved the InfoPath forms to this new site. I do not have access to the original InfoPath templates and I cannot figure out how to edit these forms without using the template as it is gone. 2) Is it possible to save an InfoPath template in SharePoint versus saving it on a S Drive? - - Steve LaPointe InfoPath Discussions Windows
Code Backed Forms in Infopath Office Hi, I have created an infopath form which contains fields for Active Directory lookups. Several fields query the AD and display user related data - Name, Title, Manager, stuff that. I've signed the form with a certificate and published the form successfully to Sharepoint (MOSS2007) so that it published in a browser. However, when I try to open the form in a browser from Sharepoint, before the form is displayed, it errors and says an error has been entered into MOSS / Public / Public / Forms / AllItems.aspx&DefaultItemOpen = 1, Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:Holiday-Request-Form:-myXSD-2008-03-07T12-43-21, Type: COMException, Exception Message: An operations but without the code based fields being populated. I've been told in another Forum (Sharepoint Portal Server) that this is a problem with the code I have used. However, when
