User Name, Infopath 2003

[JoelS]

Does anyone have a sample Infopath 2003 form they can share with me that will
show me exactly how to get the name of the person using the form?

Thanks,

Joel

i think you'll find that it's not easy (sometimes i miss Lotus
Notes) ....... to use active directory you have to make the form
trusted, which means getting certificates and all that....i'm not as
expert, so see what others say.

you can use environment.username, which will return something like
"john.doe" if that's good enough, that easy....form doesn't have to
be full trust.

thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:UserID").text =
Environment.UserName

in "default value" click on "Fx" button-->click on insert function-->in all

you can also get current users username by web service
use http://<server name>/_vti_bin/userprofileservice.asmx

Anuma;

I'm new to the code side of InfoPath. Is that line of code all I need and
do I put it in the onload event? Is userName a variable or the field that I
have defined on my form?

Thanks,

Joel

Great. Now if my field name is "name" under myFields how would I code that
in your code sample?

Thanks,

Joel

Is this code correct?

XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:name").text =
System.Environment.UserName;

When I open the form I get an error 'System' is undefined

Thanks,

Joel

I hate to be a complete dummy but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Can you give me detailed instructions?

Sorry,

Joel
