Thanks for your help drgkeddy,
but i have a webservice that generates information about who the current user is. I receive a xml-string from the webservice with information about the current user, his name, mailadress, department and so on, and my problem is that i dont know how to subtract the information i need from the one i dont need.

I use the webservice as a data connection and want to populate a field in the form with name of the current user. But when i choose the connection to read from i get the entire xml-string, instead of just the name.
