Is there an existing web service to return users names in InfoPath. I'm trying to automate the user name in a field on the initial start page of the workflow. Essentially so the user does not have to use a drop down to put his or her own name in the form. It should automatically see his or her authentication and populate the field. I would like to reuse the web service to get user information in other fields as well. Thanks

I don't know that such an web service exists. I have rolled my own for exactly the same problem. I retrieve the user based on the context of the request to the web service. I also have a method in the web service to do searches based on first name/last name search strings. I use that to enable users to search for people they are naming on the form. That we I can ensure proper email addresses, sam account names, and the like.
