Question

I have the need to populate a combobox in InfoPath with all the users from our Active Directory system. I’d also like this combo box to have auto-complete Can someone please point me in the right direction to accomplish this? Everything I find on the web seems to only load the currently logged-in user.

Thanks in advance!

If you have sharepoint server on your domain you can take advantage of contact selector control described here.

Otherwise you will be to forced to create some code in C#. Basiclly you have two options

1. Create custom control in C# and use it in infopath. Tutorial
2. Create standard infopath combobox and bind it to dynamically created collection in custom C# code.

This will be needed for both options: Extensive tutroial how to use class from DirectoryServices namespace.

Based on the comment I think you should take a look at this post about adding multiple contact selector controls into one infopath form and also this thread.
