I have an Infopath Form where i choose up to 4 authors on a piece of
content, there are 4 different fields.  When i promote the 4 author fields to
columns in a Form Library in Sharepoint, i would like to filter all of the
forms based on any time the end-users name appears in any of the 4 columns.

I can't use the [me] on the view, because of the authors that are selected
are data type string in the form and the sharepoint list doesn't recognize it
as a person datatype.

is there anyway of taking the credentials of the user, convert the username
to string and then filter the view based on username?
