Hello,

 I currently have a web form published to a our SharePoint site.  I need a field that will auto-fill with the currently logged on user when it is opened.  I am able to use the userName() function in a text box, however our username format is FirtInitial+LastName.  I would like to be able to show the displayName so that it populates as LastName, FirstName.  Any assistance would be great.  Thanks

Hi,

I think in order to manipulate the name you are going to have to use a web service to pull the data in correctly.  We do offer a web service to do this called "Active Directory Web Service" which actually pulls from the GAL rather than the SharePoint list of users.  With our tool you can also pull in all the information from your GAL, not just the name of the person (for example with our tool you can get the manager's name etc).
