Dynamic AccountName for UserProfileService DataConnection?

[Barry Prentiss]

Hi,
I need to retrieve user information from the Sharepoint server's
UserProfileService Web Service.
I use this successfully in retrieving the logged-in users' info, but need
to get info for other on-site users using their "AccountName" (i.e.
DOMAIN\username).
How do I define a data connection that retrieves info for an AccountName
defined in a field on my form? i.e.
UserProfileService.GetUserProfileByName("AccountName")?

Thx,
Barry

i think the way i have done this in the past was to use a rule on the source
element(field) that sets the query value of the webservice data connection
to the value in the source element then executes the query. the data source
will now have the new values based on the applied username.
