Using GetUserProfileByName and the Contact Selector

[nwader]

I have an infopath form which I have successfully gotten the
getuserprofilebyname AND the contact selector working for different
purporses. Now I have to some way use them both together on a form in the
following scenario:

-I have a form with a contact selector on it which I have set up a
SharePoint workflow to email the AccountID of the name in the Contact
Selector field
-I have a need now to email the manager (which I is a value of the
getuserprofilebyname data source) of the person's name selected in the
Contact Selector field.

I hope this makes sense to the great panel of experts we have out there
responding to these forum posts. Your help is greatly appreciated in advance.

Thank you Shiva for the response, but I'm not sure if these solutions help me
in my scenario. My challenge is emailing the supervisor(s) of the name(s)
selected in the Contact Selector. I don't necessarily need to display their
manager, I simply want an email to go to not only the user selected (which I
have done already) but also to their supervisor....that is the brain racking
task at hand for me now, the email to the supervisor.

I saw some post out there on the web which mentions another web service
called GetUserProfilebyManager but that didn't turn out to help me either.

I resolved my issue very very simply by using the workflow action
which I downloaded titled "get manager of the user". It can be found
