Hi Dienstag, Your english is perfect. I've never seen anyone come up with a good solution for this and I've been developing InfoPath forms for 10+ years. You can add code to your form that queries MAPI but as you say that's a "huge effort". Sorry to rain on your InfoPath parade,

Hi Catharine, This has been documented somewhere and I'm sorry if you tried to search for it and couldn't find it. Basically, what you need to do is to use a command of the form: "BLOCKED SCRIPT OpenXMLDocument('http://.../QdabraWebService/Documents/xx/xx.xml') ".
