Reference Sharepoint Fields

[Ryan Miller]

I'm using infopath as a template in a WSS Form library. Does anybody know
how to reference WSS fields, Created By and Created Date, inside my infopath
document? How about the ID that is assigned when it is saved in sharepoint?

I've got a form that I want to automatically populate with this info
whenever it is opened from the web site (so it is on there if it is
printed).

Possible?

Thanks,
-Ryan

With SP-1, you should be able to add the form library as a Sharepoint data
connection and read the data that way.
You can also call the sharepoint list web service yourself.

I'm using SP-1 and I can reference WSS Lists and Document/form libraries-no
problem. This seems a little more complicated though because:
1) I'm referencing the WSS library where the current data is stored.
2) At the time of the initial form editing, the record I want to reference
won't yet exist.

It may not be possible unless they've built in support for this particular
(though I think common) issue.

Thanks,
