Re: list to populate a people picker

That's kind of where I have been I get this value (Jones,, Ryan,#,#661,#SR Analyst-Network PLNG) and I don't think I need the part after Ryan??

But I think I have a few problems with the form

1. I get this error when opening: The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:

Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
<detail><errorstring xmlns="Group'>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">Group cannot be found.</errorstring><errorcode xmlns="0x80131600http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">0x80131600</errorcode></detail>

2. I get an error in the submitted by field

3. I still do not know what to do with the display in sharepoint when I have multiple entries in the form.

I hope this is not a hopeless case!

You are so close! Right now you are only setting the DisplayName in your people picker in group 1 - you need to set the account id too. Try the attached copy - save the file locally, right click and select Design - from there you can preview. If the people picker doesn't get set when you pick a station, let me know and I'll get you some troubleshooting steps, ok?

I need the entire template (XSN), not just the manifest (XSF). If you have the manifest open in design mode, use File > save as to save the form files as a template again.

Attached. Thanks for your help on this. Also do you have a recommendation for InfoPath training?

Want to attach a copy of your template under the options tab? I should be able to help with the rules.

My reviewers are listed as a person or group. Most of this is well past my abilities so any help you can provide is most appreciated! Let me know what I can provide to assist.

Thanks

To promote repeating data to SharePoint libraries, you need to use the "merge" option when promoting the field. You will likely need to add a rule to the dropdown where you pick Title to set the account id and display name fields in the people picker. Is your Reviewer / Secondary Reviewer column in your SharePoint list a person type?

I am working with InfoPath 2010 and sharePoint 2013 I have 2 questions and I am not very familiar with InfoPath. I have a list built in SharePoint where I have Title in 1 column Reviewer in column 2 and secondary reviewer in column 3 In my InfoPath form I have have a dropdown box where you pick the Title and I want another box(people picker) to populate with the reviewers name from column 2. Eventually I will want to email the form to that reviewer. I have to use Acount ID and not display name due to exchange issues. Question#2 I have a repeating table in this same form. Seems to work foine but only the 1st table posts to the Sharepoint Library. How do I get all the info entered into the library from all of the tables Thanks in advance
