More Fun With SharePoint and InfoPath
I’ve been spending a lot more time this week in SharePoint than I have doing anything with InfoPath but that’s about to change as one of our ongoing InfoPath projects is about to come home to roost on my desk. (Actually it’s already there, I just haven’t done anything with it.)
Once again I find a timely post. This time from itaysk we have InfoPath - Get the current user without writing code - itaysk. Here’s yet more handy information on how to import information that originates in AD from web services mediated by SharePoint into InfoPath forms.
It’s interesting to note that comment after comment, dozens of them, lament that not everything works even when the author’s steps are followed exactly. More worrying is the fact that many respondents are describing quite distinct failure cases. It feels like a sign that InfoPath and Forms Service may be way too sensitive to small differences in the configuration of their local environments. Are these products to complex for their own good or viability?
