    Setting People Picker based on Person Name (string)

    Hello. I am struggling for a solution to my problem. I am trying to put a People Picker control on my InfoPath 2010 form that has a default value pre-populated into the control. I have a database query that pulls in the name of the manager for a specific project. I would like a people picker to automatically default to the name of the manager after the project has been selected. I have been able to set the DisplayName of the People Picker based on the string value as the string represents the "PreferredName". However, I don't have a way to look up the Account Name so I can set the AccountID of the people picker. Is there a way to populate the people picker based on a string of the manager's name? Thank you very much for any help that you can provide.

    Hi Screech,

    I understand that you would like to populate the people picker's AccountID field for the Manager after a certain project has been selected. Unfortunately I can't think of any web service which looks up a user's info using PreferredName. Would it be possible for you to create a dynamic list which will contain the Display Name along side the Account IDs instead?
