So let&#39;s assume the process roles are: submitter, approver and reviewer. You&#39;ll have rules to store the appropriate username in each of those fields. If a form is new, the currently logged in user becomes the submitter. If the form already has a submitter, then your rule should not try to overwrite that field. It sounds like perhaps your rule is not executing correctly, but there&#39;s not enough information above to troubleshoot. <br /></p><p>You should consider using InfoPath user&#39;s role. Here is a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb251015%28office.12%29.aspx">link about InfoPath user roles</a> (also <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath-help/CH010059828.aspx">read this</a>).

I have&nbsp;an&nbsp;InfoPath&nbsp;form that needs to recognize who is accessing it through a 3-part aprroval process. When the form is initiated, the text ID field which I have set to the username value correctly pulls the username from Sharepoint. But when the initiator submits the form for the first approval (which sends it&nbsp;to an approval library), the xsn file becomes an xml file and the ID field no longer picks up the username of the approver. Is there a way to code that text ID field so that it looks for and registers (in the ID field) who is accessing/looking at the form when it is an xml document?</p> <p>Thanks</p>
