Hello, and welcome!

This post suggests that SharePoint may not allow this type of query with its web services. I don't know definitively, but I also found this which suggests you may be able to get around this with a proxy web service that you can build yourself.

I like this link for its list of available SharePoint web services -- I haven't found too much documentation out there.

Oh, and one more thought -- I realize this may be a little unorthodox, but I've gotten SharePoint data from its databases directly before. Desperate times sometimes call for desperate measures!

Using Lists.asmx or dspsts.asmx with JScript

I am using InfoPath 2003 and I have a form that is published to SharePoint 2007.

I need a way to read information about a single item from a SharePoint Document Library. Unfortunately, when I set up a standard data connection to the library, it appears to pull all of the information on the first page of the default view, which causes a performance hit. What I need is to do select just the relevant information from the library. I think the way to do that is with a web service (either Lists.asmx or dspsts.asmx). Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any information about how to do this.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you for any and all help.
