Just some final follow-up for anyone curious about the metadata I had recommended that David McPherson try to access -- it's only available once you have saved the form.

That does make sense. The problem then is that I need the user ID before the form is saved. I need to be able to browse their My Workspace resources. I suppose I may have to ask them to look for it or give me the url to it.
Thanks again,
Dave
