Hi all,

I want to know, how is browser form get E-Mail account from Active Directory?

Thank you very much.

Hey There.

If you know the userID, you can use a web service like Qdabra's to get the rest of their Active Directory record such as location, department, manager, and email.

Hi,

Additionally, if I want other email in Active Directory by seletion in list. Has it another way?

Thank you very much.

Will this form be going on MOSS?

Yes, this form is going on MOSS.

Ok, here's what I would recommend... let me know if this works for you:

1. Within your form make a data connection to the UserProfileService MOSS web service:  

2.  Follow these steps to add auto-populate a field with the form user's email address from Active Directory.  For more information please visit this blog post where I first learned this method: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/itaysk/archive/2007/04/05/InfoPath-_2D00_-Get-the-current-user-without-writing-code.aspx 

• Add a textbox to the form.
• Go to the first textbox's properties (double click it).
• In the 'Default Value' part, click the 'fx' button next to the 'Value' field. this opens up the formula builder dialog. 
• Click 'Insert field or group'. 
• In the data sources drop down, choose the GetUserProfileByName data source.
• Expand all groups under the 'dataFields' group, and choose the 'value' field. Don't click OK yet!
• With data 'value' field selected, click the 'Filter Data...' button and 'Add...'.
• In the first drop down (value) select 'Select a field or group...' and choose the 'Name' field under the 'PropertyData' group.
• Leave the middle drop down as is ('is equal to') and in the last drop down choose 'type a text...'.
• This is the part where you specify which property to put in the textbox. As we said the method returns multiple properties about the user. For this textbox we want to put the user's work email in, so type 'WorkEmail' (this is case sensitive!). 
• Click 'OK' for every open dialog box until you are back in the design mode.
  click 'Preview' and see the wonder!

Let me know if this helps at all or if I'm way off base.

Thanks,

Hi dlocc,

Thank you very much for your answer. I follow your solution, it is Ok. But I have some another problem.

There is error message "An error occurred accessing a data source." (there is not error number). 

I noticed, if user's profile does not have value in field "User Name", such as "name.surname", on SharePoint profile, the error is occured.

Otherwise, if user's profile has value in field "User Name", the error is not be occurred.

Do you know about it?

Thank you very much again.

Thank you it works to retrieve the email automatically from the active directory. How about getting it's manager name and email add and user colleagues.

thank you
