Yes I created a contact list and put the admins into it. The problem is I now have the admins in this list AND in the regular site admins group. So it is redundant info. Also, because this form needs to be browser-compatible, I cannot use User Roles...they are not functional in a browser bassed form...as of this release of the beta anyway.
Thanks.

Hello,

Where did you create the Admin Contact List?
Did you create a Custom list for Admin group in Sharepoint? You can connect this Sharepoint list as a secondary data source to the form and Using UserRoles you can Switch Views.

Data Connection to Admin Group

I currently have created a special Admin view on an InfoPath 2007 form. What I need to do is determine if the user opening the form is in the SharePoint site Administrators group and, if so, open the special admin view. I tried to create an Open Behavior rule (under Tools > Form Options > Open and Save) to see if the person is an admin. I figured I could create a data connection to the admin group and match the userName of the person opening the form to the group. Problem is I cant seem to create a data connection to the admin group. I was able to test the rule by creating a special admin contact list and connect to it, but I dont want to have to maintain theis list in addition to the admin group for the site. It would just be redundant. Is there another way around this.
