Never mind, I figured it out. In the Form Loading events I did the following: (based on miscellaneous steps in the ADWS User Guide)

I queried the GetMyInfo data connection.
Set the value of the IsUserMemberOfGroup username query field to sAMAccountName.
Then specified the value (the group I wanted to check for) in the groupAlias query field
Then queried the IsUserMemberOfGroup data connection. (#1-4 are all the same rule under Form Load)
Then I created a new rule in the Form loading events that checked if the IsUserMemberOfGroupResult data field was true and if it was, then I switched to the appropriate view.

I am using Sharepoint 2007 WSS3.0. & Infopath 2010. Is it possible for me to be able to see what sharepoint groups a user belongs to using this version? From my previous research, I didn't think it was possible so I went ahead and purchased the ADWS tool.

I followed the user guide for ADWS and was able to test the IsUserMemberOfGroup connection successfully. However, in that example, you have to specify the group each time and I am having trouble figuring out how to already have a group specified in the form and then check to see if that user is a part of it.

I looked for tutorials on your site for this but couldn't find anything.

Any ideas?
