Isn't there a way to create a dataset so you can pass a parameter and have the form filled for a record (that may have many, many fields) with one server call rather than having to set up each field individually? Am I correct in assuming that each calculation will be a separate server call?

I had the same thoughs so I created a repeating table with 1 column with a default value of "1" in the field. I used a Sum() of that row in the footer field and set the rules to only run when that field was <2 since when the tables merge the footer row would sum the default fields.

InfoPath doesn't provide any functions that will allow you to query a userlist in SharePoint for the same data.  I'm afraid you are limited to the functionality of the control and the values you have access to in the schema.

 Hi, and thanks so much for the reply.  I was hoping there was a way to query the same data myself, that the control sees.  When I search a name using the contact selector, and see the matches it also shows the Email Address, Title, and Department for the users.  My simple mind thought that if Infopath is able to get this ...

You shouldn't have any problems using choice groups inside repeating sections.  Just make sure that your schema has the choice field inside the repeating group's node and you should be fine.
