How can I capture the name of the person running a SharePoint Designer workflow?

I have an InfoPath form that requires the signature of several approvers. To save time the approvers don't actually go into the form to approve. Instead they get an email that contains data from the form that pertains to them. They click
on a link and start the approval workflow which needs to capture who they are in order to display it as the signature in the form.
...so the questions are...
How do I get a SharePoint Designer to capture the name of the person running it and write it to a column in the Form Library so that the form can capture it?
I've been trying to use Modified By, assuming it captures the name of the person who last ran the workflow (modified the item); but this doesn't seem to work. It captures the name of the person who modified the form before running the workflow, not
after.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this!!

How can I delete a name in the address of a text message?

How can I delete a name in the address of a texas message? The letter W appears as an addressee in error. The text message was not sent. The other addressess in the message was correct.

if there are going to be a lot of dash characters you could read the string character by character, compare the value of the character with the range of values for a letter in ascii, and not copy it to a new string if it doesn't match. If the odd character out is only going to be a dash, you can search the string for the character, split the string at this point, append it to a string buffer and keep doing this till you're done. Just suggestions :)

Oracle Trigger - How can I capture and correct on the fly ORA-01847

Oracle Trigger - How can I capture and correct on the fly ORA-01847 day of month must be between 1.
I have a table that has a date column. Sometimes an invalid date is passed and I'd like to capture and initilize the incoming value to null and have it inserted without error. Currently I get ORA-01847 day of month must be between 1.
Example:
create table ep1
col_1 number,
col_2 date
Now if a user does the following, I want no error to occure but rather for the date value to be set to null and inserted.
insert into ep1 values('1', '41-JAN-13')
The insert may come from any client and I can't change the calling code hence can't used a precedure to replace the insert. I'm guessing there is some way to catch system level exceptions on the DB level. This doesn't need to be nice, it just needs to work.
Here is the question on experts exchange. I'm told there is no way, but there must be. After all the exception is on a DB system level and I would think one could extend or override these, or disable them.

Cannot set the email from address (reply-to) in SharePoint Designer workflow

I have created several workflows for custom lists. Among other actions, they send out emails. It appears however, that they all use the same from-address. I would like to supply each of these workflows with different reply-to addresses.
Can I do that? After a lot of searching it appears that the only way is to create separate Web Applications, since the reply-to address is set on Web Application level. But that would require several extra web applications in my case, which again need their own site collections and sites.
I really, really miss a "From" field in the SharePoint Designer workflow "Send e-mail" action.
Best regards, Jan.

Hi,
I think it is not possible out of the box. Have a look at the "Send email extended" custom SPD workflow activity (http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities ). As per the website "Send email extended - Enhanced version of the OOTB activity. Allow you to specify the sender. Also does not break links in body."
Hope it helps.

When you are logging your tape prior to capture you can do this. For example, tape one contains scenes 1,2 and three, multiple takes of each. Go to the beginning of scene one take 1. Mark an in point. Go to the end of all the takes of scene 1 and mark an out point. Log the clip as scene one. Do the same for scenes 2 and three. Hit the batch capture button.
Then as it captures it creates scene 1, scene1-1, scene 1-2, scene 1-3, et cetera.

How can I change the name of the administrator that shows on Home Icon?

Hello
I've bought this laptop from a reliable source, went to the Apple Store (Regent St) with the box and they registered it in my name, address and so on. No problems, the mac works fine.
However, the Home/Icon and administrator is in the name of the old owner. Obviously, he gave me the password. But, I really want to have my name on it.
I've the box, the discs and all the books. Everything is in really good conditions.
I read the manuals, the instructions are straight forward but on the net and forum related mac, I can see that are lots of people having problems when they reboot and are unable to login and so on...
The genius bar at the Apple Store is okay, but the staff main objective is to sell and they are not very patient and neither have much time for you. Normally I end up leaving the store with software that I don't have a clue how to use and the problem unsolved. And it stresses me out.
Can someone help me please.
Thank you
Best regards

1. Yes, just the Shortname will be changed.
2. Not easier, but you can do that if you wish.
since I'm in the official Mac support forum should I expect to receive a reply from a Mac expert staff or it is unlikely to happen?
Just other Users here like you, trying to help other users. For a real Apple answer I think you have to call AppleCare, but rarely an Apple Host pops in... wouldn't expect it in this case though.
I do thank you for the info about your software and obviously will make a donation if everything works fine.
Not mine, but a worhy piece of SW just the same.

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
Please, make this solution available to other people!

You have found the the way to share it. Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums. Then mark you own post with a green solved star.
Note. You won't get any points for that; points are only awarded where you mark someone else's post as either helpful or solved.
