Populating Field On Load with current username & other tricks requ

[Adam Harding]

I have read loads of other posts about this subject but as i am new to
programming i can't quite understand HOW it relates to my problem.

I am not running .NET, IIS, or any other helpful stuff as I am not working
in the IT Department.

I am looking to poulate a hidden field on the form with the username for my
originator on the orginator view. When a new person accesses the form it
checks to see if their username is identical to the originators, if so then
they get the originator form, if not they get the Authorisation View as their
default.

Can anyone offer any ideas. I am sure it is written here somewhere, but
there are so many suggestions i don't know where to start.

Hi Adam,

You will need to use scripting to do it (Tools \ Programming \ MS Script
Editor). Most of the action will take place in your: function
XDocument::OnLoad(eventObj)

To get to the user, you can use:
var objNwk = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network");
//Logged-on user name:
var userName = objNwk.UserName;
//Populate Hidden field:
XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode(YourHiddenFieldXPath).text = userName;

Based on who your user is, you will default to one View or the other using:
XDocument.ViewInfos["YourViewName"].IsDefault = true

Hope that it gets you started.
