You can add a formula column that would set another field = to one of these values. It does retrieve the AccountID, Display Name, and Email Address.

What I do for print views is to actually create a new view that I switch to on submit. This new view has all of the controls displayed as "Expressions" which are basically non-editable labels that grow nicely. On the print view pull out the field from the data pane that you want to display, if you allow for multiple people to be selected then you have to choose the option to display in a repeating group. To re-iterate what I stated above, create a new view called "print view" and rebuild your entire form on that view. Add the "Display Name" portion of the people picker's data structure onto the form. Hope this helps. Ulysses Good question, when you print view the control is not displayed. What I do for print views is to actually create a new view that I switch to on submit.

If it's not working make sure you following the instructions to the "T", it's quite tricky. Ulysses The entire process described above revolves around using AD as the data source.

Need to setup a field with default value using Count formula on the display name. Then, since this will default to 1 (with no entry (blank)), use data validation of count 1 and DisplayName is blank. Works. If trying to set contact selector to exactly 1 entry. Need to setup a field with default value using Count formula on the display name.

Any ideas or solutions? thanks! I’m still have problems as some others have said before…
