So, this form submits to a particular library, and you also want to query data from the library? You can add a data connection to the library - if you are using ShP 2010, you can even use the available query fields to return just the data for a particular field value.

Hi - I replied to your other question on this here: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/20856/72226.aspx#72226

So - I'm sort of confused about what you are trying to do? If you simply want to fill out the template and submit it to SharePoint, you can use a formula to create the form name - more on that here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath-help/submit-form-data-to-a-sharepoint-library-HA010107057.aspx
