InfoPath Dev

It's not something I was familiar with previously.  I just know that whenever you  map something in Google Maps or other mapping sites, it generates a long URL that includes the search terms you used.  I figured you could dynamically generate this URL and make a hyperlink, but I hadn't done this exact thing before.  ...

If you're referring to an upgrade/migration from SharePoint 2003 to 2007, then no data should be lost, but it's a cumbersome task that would require an architect for sure. 

It could just be my memory.  I just know that some regular attributes fail, and I know that I currently use email address, but I think it may be because of the fact that copying contacts from the GAL to outlook doesn't bring over username, so I have to use email address (I'm referring to something complete different that I do for user ...

I'll have to figure out why mine will not accept any form of the username (account name, domain name, etc).  I can only pass email address as an acceptable value.  Not sure if it's related to being a browser-enabled form, but it shouldn't matter...

I don't think you can do it directly, because the data types don't match.  However, you can use a workflow to update that field, but know that you have to send an EMAIL ADDRESS to that type of field in SharePoint for it to resolve.  You can do this with SPD.

Instead of the checkbox, just show the field on your canvas while testing so that you can see what is actually being populated.  Then, go from there...

Hmm, I will have to test this out to see what setting is off.

So it's just your own idea to go down this path and hope that it works.  If so, that's excellent. InfoPath is simply part of the Office suite, so integration is intrinsic.  It's also very well built to work with SharePoint, and that is where I specialize, so it's where I can help the most.  Is all of USDA only on ...

Instead of a rule to push, set a default to pull.  Set the ID to default to the ID from the database where the user is equal.

It's interesting that they'd task an intern instead of putting out an RFP to hire a dead-set expert from a leading provider or independent contractor.  Is that the case? Some sellings points would be: - Direct integration with the Office suite (2007 is best) - Direct integration with SharePoint (do they have or use SharePoint)? - ...
