InfoPath & System.Environment.UserName

[Sushi]

In my InfoPath form I am autofilling a textbox with
System.Environment.UserName as in the MSDN Infopath Training. I then use
this field as the login information for a query to a web service. I am
having trouble with the form retrieving the UserName after I publish it for
users to access via a web page link to the form. Anyone have any suggestions?

Where is the server where you published the form?
If it is on an intranet, it should work, but if it is on the Internet, the
behavior is by design: the form template gets the same permissions that a
web page on the same location would have, and you don't want a web page to
read the username of the logged-in user.

Hope this helps

The form is published on an intranet, so I don't believe that is the issue.
Would you know if this has anything to do with how I enable full trust?

I was wondering if you ever figured out the answer. I am having the
very same problem and have been working on it for a few days.

I believe it had to do with the order of my code. Here is what I now have, I
hope it helps:

Dim emp As New WebService.Class
Dim ds As DataSet = emp.WebMethod(System.Environment.UserName)

Dim nodeEmpName As IXMLDOMNode =
thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("my:myFields/my:txtEmpName")

If nodeEmpName.text = "" Then
nodeEmpName.text = ds.Tables("Employee").Rows(0).Item("DisplayName")
End If

Could you share you code you use to autofill the textbox with
System.Environment.UserName. I need to do that and I haven't been able to
find an example of doing this.

Thanks
