Thanks Marc. I did get it working and submitting properly using the People Picker just yesterday. Sorry I didn't get a chance to update this thread. I am using a modified version of the NewForm.aspx for our staff to submit their own Help Desk tickets to us but allows us to select a user from our global address list when we create a new ticket (and stamps which IT staff created the order in the 'Created By' field) using the default form. The customized form will automatically fill the 'Requester' field with a logged in user's info when they go to submit a ticket to us.
As a bonus, it improved my overall design because it allows IT staff to pick a requester from our entire AD versus only being able to select people from the User Information List (ie only staff that have been logged into Sharepoint) that I was using to populate the 'Requester' lookup field .
Currently, the People Picker field is visible to the end user on the customized form.
Any suggestion or code on how I can 'hide' the People Picker from the user but still have it pre-populate and submit to the list upon submission?
