Populate a field from the directory

Hi

Just moved to v 8.0.2 from v 6 - have done very little programming so apologise in advance for what I am sure is a simple question.

I have a form that I want to be able to select a user from the Directory and have the selected users CN name stored in a field in the document.

This must be quite simple but I am not sure how to go about it. Any help would be good

thanks

Martin

Create your editable field, and in the field properties define it as Names, rather than Text. On the second tab of the properties box, in the “Choices” section, choose “Use Address dialog for choices”. Now your users can look up from the address books.Then in the “Input Translation” section for the field, put @Name([CN];@ThisValue)
