    InfoPath 2010 Contact Selector Control. Unable to add

    I have a new InfoPath 2010 Form I have created using the Blank Form Template.  I am trying to add the contact selector control.  Here is are the steps I am trying:

     On the Home Tab I click on the drop down arrow beside the list of existing Controls and click on Add or Remove Custom Controls.  I then click Add the select ActiveX Control and click Next.  I select Contact Selector and click Next.   This is where I get an error stating "This control cannot be added through the custom control wizard.  To use this control, go to the Controls gallery on the Home tab."    This is what I thought I was doing......   What am I missiing here?  I am fairly new to InfoPath so probably just something simple I am missing.

     I am using InfoPath 2010 on my Windows 7 x64 Enterprise workstation

     Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi,

    I think it's because the Contact Selector is already added in the Controls gallery. From Home > Controls group, you'll see this in the Input section - it's called Person/Group Picker. I think this is what you're looking for?

    I thought so too, but I think the PeoplePicker control is different than the Contact Selector Contor.

    See this document: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/infopath/archive/2007/02/28/using-the-contact-selector-control.aspx

    Thanks,
