No the person filling it in can put thier details in manually just want the person they are requestings details to be filled in. I have the form already set with a drop down list, however this is "repeating work" if they click on a name and then have to select that name again from a list unfortunatly.

No, I'm just clarifying that the user who is initially opening/creating this form is not the user whose information needs to be in the two fields mentioned. The reason why is because we certainly have an easy method for getting AD info about the current user automatically, and we can easily extend that for other users, but the user has to be defined somehow. I know you want to pass a query string parameter to do this, but we may be able to do it without code and keep it simple, but the user would have to choose the name from a dropdown list in the form. I know you want it to be automatic.

Ideally if they could see at least the name on the form they open that would be good. I'm not fussed about the email address being shown thanks. Iri

And to be clear, this data is not relevant to the user opening the form, right? That's key to know.

Autofill paramaters for URL to infopath form

Hello folks,

I was wondering if i could find some help here.

I've got a form, very simple just four boxes, which i need two to filled with diffrent values depending on the URL

These two fields are:

Name
Email

so that when the link is clicked, i need these two fields filled from the url instead of the user entering it manually on the form

I've been trying this: http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2007/02/26/passing-data-into-a-form-input-parameters.aspx

so for example my URL is

http://irianna/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?xsnlocation=/FormServerTemplates/Autofill.xsn?name=Irianna&email=Irianna@home.com&OpenIn=browser&Options=DisableSave

So that ?name=Irianna&email=Irianna@home.com (Should) put
Name as Irianna
and
Email as Irianna@home.com (not my real email so answers below please :) )

The code I've used in the is:

public void FormEvents_Loading(object sender, LoadingEventArgs e)

{

string nameValue = e.InputParameters["name"];

string emailValue = e.InputParameters["email"];

}

The but for some reason I cannot get it to work, the form still loads with blank boxes, and doesnt fill the values in.

Does anyone know how this is done, or what I'm doing wrong??

Thank you in advance.

Iri
