MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / August 2006How do I do an AD lookup to populate InfoPath fields?
How do I do an AD lookup to populate InfoPath fields? I am trying to populate the username field. Thanks It depends on what language you're using. You can use DirectoryServices in managed code or ADSI in script to do a lookup. Search this newsgroup on "Active Directory" to find some samples. --- S.Y.M.

(otherwise I suggest googling for 2003 answers as it's not quite so easy from what I hear) If you are using 2007 then you can place this code in the most appropriate event eg: form loading or button click etc.... Use VSTA from within Infopath. hope this helps cheers Bruce > Sorry to sound like such a newbie, but where exactly would one place > this code?

I'm pretty well versed with Access VBA and have some pretty slick code working there but once I started working in Infopath, I must confess I've fallen back on the old GUI way to do things. The forms I'm working with are for the most part based on samples which are based on jscript. In Access VBA, I got well versed with VBA so VB, VB script and VB in .Net are easy to read but reading anything like JS, or C# to me is illegible. Maybe it's some form of "Code Aphasia" eh? I know if you have a background in C++ it's easier but my background is cchemistry and picked up the VB along the way. Anyway, I've been searching for a way to add the AD/network username (e.g: carlw) to a field on a form. The GUI design view doesn't seem to offer one (why it's not included as a function is beyond me) and I've seen a bunch of other people posting methods but like I said in my previous post, where do you put them. I've tried a few such as environment.user etc. but to no avail. The posting you offered as an example looks promising but would you add that to OnLoad and add it as is? Thanks for the patience. We all start at the beginning right. :) CW > Hi Carl, > Yes, it is for Infopath 2007. Is that what you are using?

I know it can be done as like you say there is lots of example code out there. I would've thought it should be fairly straight forward as to where to put the code, there should be some sort of code editor in IP 2003 for doing just that, perhaps some kind person out there that uses 2003 can point you in the right direction. cheers Bruce ps: just done a quick google and found the following article http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwebsrv/html/h ttpsecurity.asp this may help or may actually scare you away completely ;-) > Hi HurtlingTurtle, no, I/we use Infopath 2003.

Much appreciated. I'll keep that one bookmarked. CW > Hi Carl, > Sorry about that, I haven't used Infopath 2003 at all.
