Problem with getting UserName using webservices in InfoPath

Question

I have SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2007. I am using the webservices to get the user name into the forms text box. I have followed this post and its works fine:

InfoPath - Get the current user without writing code

I followed the post to the letter and it works. I logged in as Admin and deployed the form and I get the Admin as the user name. But now when I log in using different user credentials the username doesn't update and I still get the same Admin user name

Do I need to do some additional things other than the blog post? Please suggest

Answer 1

I followed post step by step and it works fine. When I log with different user I receive different data. So there are two options how to solve your problem this:

Start from scratch

or just to verify everithing is ok insert a button and add two rules to it:

1. Set field value of GetUserProfileByName > QueryFields > tns:GetUserProfileByName > AccountName to function userName()
2. Query For Data > GetUserProfileByName

Try to click button and see if your data is still same. If answer is yes - problem is outside of your Infopath form.

This was all tested on InfoPath 2010 with browser enabled forms deployed on SP Form library.

Addition: It is obvious that if you open form in InfoPath client application (and not in browser enabled form) current InfoPath user will be current Windows user not user logged in SharePoint.
