Hi,

I have created a web form where in the initial view a user enters the director's name in a people picker field.  How can I switch to a Director's view of the form where the director's name in the people picker is compared against the current user viewing the form?  I have tried to compare the people picker DisplayName and the AcountID against username(), but neither seems to work because the returned values are different?  Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.

Have you tried using the contains() function instead of comparing if they're equal? There might be extra characters in the People Picker value that's just not displaying. So your rule would be something like: if AccountID contains username(), then switch view.

If that still doesn't work, try using the SharePoint list UserProfileSevice web service, GetUserProfileByName method.

Thank you Mel,

The contains() function works very well.
