SharePoint Credentials problem

[Ranier Bonnici]

I created an Infopath form and published it to a SharePoint document
repository. As a result, when users click New in the document library, the
Infopath form opens and they can fill it in. When ready, they click submit
to post the form the document library.

The problem is that upon form submission, the Created By and Modified By
attributes are populated with the currently logged in Windows account
username rather than the currently logged in SharePoint account username.

Is there a way how I can change this? Your feedback is appreciated.

Hi Ranier,

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but I'm not quite sure what the
difference is... in SharePoint I'm assuming that your domain users have been
imported into SharePoint via the Active Directory import method in Shared
Services. This should bring their windows account in with all details,
including first name, last name, etc.

Are you saying that in the Forms library (you said Document library, but I
assume you mean Forms library?) it says "DOMAIN\mruser" instead of "Mr. User"?

There is a post here on getting account details from SharePoint populated
into an InfoPath form when the user is filling it out:

You could then publish this field to your Forms library.

Gavin.
