Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes the Contact Selector control, an ActiveX control that can be used on your Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 workflow forms. The Contact Selector control enables users to specify contacts, either users or groups, and have that contact information validated. The Contact Selector control is also included in Office Professional 2007.

When a user enters a contact, the Contact Selector control attempts to validate the contact against the server. The set of users that the Contact Selector control can resolve is the same as the set that the server can resolve. This includes:

• Local Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 users

• Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 groups and users

• Groups in the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 directory, which can include Active Directory or other LDAP servers

You can use the Contact Selector control on your Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 workflow forms to enable users to specify contacts for workflow processes, such as assigning tasks or sending e-mail notifications.
