InfoPath Dev

I think some screen shots would really help -- I can't quite visualize what you are doing and I haven't used GetUserProfileByName, so I am unfamiliar. Also, I found a blog post that may be helpful to you: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/itaysk/archive/2007/04/05/InfoPath-_2D00_-Get-the-current-user-without-writing-code.aspx  

Hi, Jim: I just tried to replicate the issue mentioned in your second paragraph, where I open a form from DAT, switch to design view, add the fields from the GetMyInfo service to my form, save, close, save DAT, and open the form again... and the fields I've added do show. I'm using XP, and my form is published locally. Can you tell me ...

I see. Yes, you probably have a filter issue. Let's say you want to put the manager email into field1 in your form and that the current username is in field2. Right click field1, select properties, and in the default value field select the formula button. Then, in the Insert Formula window, select the Insert Field or Group button. The Insert ...

Hello, and welcome! If you are always getting the first name, I would guess it would be because you didn't set a filter on the field.

Hi: Your secondary data connection query can be run with a single line of code. In C#: this.DataConnections["DataConnectionName"].Execute(); With "DataConnectionName" replaced with the name of your data connection. However, the trouble that you will have is finding an event to connect this to. The events associated with ...

Hi -- you don't need the "this" in your first line -- the syntax would be XPathNavigator DOM = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();

A web service is a great way to go, and Qdabra's DBXL can help you with this and much more. However, you can use a .config file in your C# project to store your authentication information, and call that in your code, so that you do not need to store your authentication information. This post has some information about using a .config ...

Hi:  I don't quite understand question 2, but have a suggestion for question 1. I have used 'method 2' from this post with success for a conditional default value for a field: http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2006/11/27/conditional-default-values.aspx The basic structure of the formula they suggest looks like ...

Hello: Here is a link to a code sample that creates a Sql connection in code: http://www.sharepointblogs.com/ssa/archive/2006/01/03/populating-infopath-fields-with-sql-data-using-managed-code.aspx Where this code has the command "select * from tblUser" you could easily replace with "execute sp"  etc. If you want to ...

Hi, Bill: Are you able to open the form in design mode? A control that is unbound or has another problem may be easier to find that way....
