Hi clay,

Please assist me in the following problem in the infopath form, i am using k2 - i dont have qdabra's ADservice.

I got a text box where i will be typing the 3 to 4 charaters and click search button to get the search results.

I am struggling with the rule.

Please tell me what rule i need to keep to working my button rule to work.

Please assist urgently. Thanks in advance.

The problem is

The Infopath form is working perfectly fetching all the users in the active directory.

I got like this

Text box

Search button

Dropdown with all active directory users.

In the button i kept the following action in the rule..

1. Set a field's value as

field = datasource is AD_User_Get_Users(Secondary)

Queryfileds>InputProperties>Name

Field = Name

Value = concat(*,TextBoxField,*)

amd also added a query

Ad_User_Get_Users

so i added 2 actions

one is field value and second is query.

but when on running, i can see users in the dropdown on loading form, when type something in text box and click search , i see the dropdown users vanish. so it is not searching by the textbox characters.

Please assist me in configuring correct rule i need to use to get search results in the dropdown.

Thanks

Ravi

GetUserInfo using Display Name (not username)

jamietallman — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 19:46:55 GMT

I have a form that is getting the manager's distinguished name using the AD Web Service. I then have a field that is parsing the distinguished name and giving me the manager's display name.

substring-after(substring-before(strManagerNameFull, ","), "CN=")

Now I need to figure out the manager's username. I could parse the display name for first initial and last name, which is our naming convention, however, this isn't desired as the username might not fit that standard for some reason.

Can I query the GetUserInfo with the display name, or is there a better way to get this?

Thanks,

Jamie Tallman
