Re: Contact Selector-like Control for 2003?

^Sure. In my project, I forgot that the approver did not need to be able to edit the form (meaning they did not need to open the form up in the InfoPath 2003 client with a Contact Selector in the form) so having a "view" of the form in the body of the email was sufficient.

This has given rise to new problems however. Outlook 2007 apparently adds formatting to the view of the form in the body of the email when a form is submitted via email, causing some of the form's fields to shift out of alignment. Also, if that email is forwarded, even more additional formatting is added, so much so that fields can vanish.

I have another thread up if anyone can help me around that problem:

Could you explain your solution that met this requirement so that others can learn from it?

Thanks Mr. Cobb, I figured as much. We have devised a new solution so this issue is not crucial to me anymore at this point.

There isn't anything that InfoPath has. You might be able to get Qdabra to make something for you that leverages their Active Directory Web Service.

Contact Selector-like Control for 2003?

infopathic — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 22:02:09 GMT

An InfoPath form saved as 2003 containing a Contact Selector cannot be opened in InfoPath 2003. Basically, I was wondering if someone could provide me with a link so that I could add something similar to a Contact Selector using InfoPath 2003.

Thanks
