SharePoint Grind

I've been working on developing a pretty hefty form over the past couple weeks and the users want a lot of data pulled in from various data sources. One request they hadwas to be able to use the Contact Selector control to have the same "People Picker" functionality available to them within SharePoint. Well, that's not a problem, but requests didn't stop there. They also wanted to have certain user information fields auto-populate based upon the person they pick in this People Picker. I hadn't implemented this before, but it was fairly easy to find plenty of people who had... Here's a few links that provide instruction there.

Now, my form has to pull in quite a bit of demographic data and we're using a connection to the User Profile Service via SharePoint, so in case you're wondering what fields are available to you, here's a list of them. I pulled this information from Ishkay's blog, link provided above. Of course it's only as available as your AD or Profiles in SP make it, so if some of the fields like Birthday pull up blank, check before you blame InfoPath :)
