Ideally I would like to have the form load, pull the Username() and perform a lookup against a SharePoint list of usernames.  If the particular username does not exist then switch the view to a read-only view.  I can get the Username() function to work and pull in the credentials but when I try and perform a lookup against the list I feel I am leaving somethig out.  The expected behavoir is to NOT have the views switch (I am in the user list) but everytime it loads I end up with the read only view.

Hi Putnamsam!

I'm guessing that you have a SharePoint list with usernames in it and that you have a data connection that loads that list on open. Make sure the data connection is set to load on open.

Do you set the username to a field on your data source or are you just using the username function in your rule? 

To debug your form load rule, I suggest adding dialog popups. Who knows, could be a case sensitivity issue. Don't forget that xpath is case sensitive so if those usernames in your sharepoint list aren't all in lowercase, your comparison will fail.

Best of luck!
