Thanks. That control worked. Additionally, I created a simple workflow to take the AccountID and populate it's value to a standard person or group column, which will allow for the standard SharePoint functions (view user profile, email).

I notice that this works well if I only pick one person. Is there a way to use the Contact Selector for multiple selections? The control allows you to select multiple values and merge the data into the SharePoint library. I changed my Assigned To column to allow for multiple selections, but my workflow errors when I run it. I'm assuming that the data needs to get parsed before the value can get set to the Assigned To column. Is this possible?

Welcome to the InfoPath Dev Forums.

You should take a look at the Contact Selector for InfoPath: http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2007/02/28/using-the-contact-selector-control.aspx that should do what you are looking for.

You should also take a look at the Qdabra Active Directory Web service if you need to do user alias validation without code in your form: http://www.qdabra.com/en/products/ADWebService.aspx

People Picker

Is it possible to create a People Picker in an InfoPath form, for the user to either search or pick from a list of names, similar to how the People Picker does in a standard SharePoint list? I don't care if it's all SharePoint users or if it can look at a specific SharePoint group.
