InfoPath 2007 userName function

I am usign the new userName() function for one of my text fields in a new
form I created. When I publish this form, using Domain level form security,
to a SharePoint site and open it, the field populates properly with the
user's full name. The problem I am having is that it populates in the
format "lastname, firstname" as default. Is there a way in the function to
get it to display as "firstname lastname"?
Thanks.

It displays the name as stored in the sharepoint profile and not the active
directory. So If you change the *Display Name* in sharepoint profile it
would
reflect here.

Hope this helps

Thank you, Madhur, but where is this "SharePoint Profile" that you speak of?
Is it on the Admin site or on the individual site?
Thank you.

Hi

If you have imported your profiles from AD, they will be present under
Central Admin->Create or Configure SSP->User Profiles

If not, In people and groups section you can view a user's profile and edit
the same.
