Richard Tubb gave me a call a couple of days ago as he was having a problem with his user account in SharePoint (read about it here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

He mentions I’d had a similar problem<\/p>\n

It was along the same lines but worthy of a blog post I think<\/p>\n

I have a client who uses an Infopath form as a time sheet. On the form is a drop down list with all the staff members names to identify who the time sheet belongs to. I’d gained access to the user list via one of the SharePoint web services (I posted about this technique here)<\/a> <\/p>\n

The problem was that some staff members had left the company and after I’d deleted their user accounts the names were still showing up in the Infopath form<\/p>\n

This entry on the WSSFAQ site<\/a> pointed me in the right direction<\/p>\n

I had deleted the user from the SITE but not from the SITE COLECTION (e.g a site collection could be 10 sites but specific users only have access to 3 of them. Hence the need to remove them from both places – though I imagine deleting them from the site collection will sort out the other sites)<\/p>\n

To do this I did the following <\/p>\n

From the site at the top of the site collection click the Site Settings menu then Site Administration. In the “Site Collection Administration” section click  “View site collection user information “<\/p>\n

From here I was able to delete the user and they disappeared from the Infopath list<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
