Thanks Matthew ... I'm *that* far away from resorting to option #2. I did't know about #1 though - that's marvellous insight. I couldn't find any event sink attached to the user profile itself, but assumed there must be something somewhere ... Bob

Are you in a farm? a. If you're not, then I am pretty sure it will store all the user information in a list in the site collection root (called User Information List?) i. You could write an IEventSink for this list, to pick up on any changed details? That would be an alternative entry point I guess 2. If you aren't in a farm, then perhaps you could go straight to the user profile database in SQL server (very naughty, by the way, and don't let any sharepoint MVPs know that I suggested this:P), and use a SQL trigger as an entry point into the user profile changing. a. It's all about getting the job done, if it comes to this level of hack to get a better solution then so be it, however, you can guarantee there is maintenece and potential 'blow away' issues by taking such an approach, and i would see it as a temporary solution until MS came up with a fix. Also, this might be a known issue WRT how you are interacting with the service, and I just don't know it. But there's some thoughts anyway...

I'm continuing to experience problems with the above web service (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms498695.aspx) in regards to returning record sets for deleted user profiles. You do get an updated token after a delete, but no matter how you format the query xml, nothing ever comes back after a delete, and you need to periodically do a complete re-load of all profiles to determine when there has been deletions instead. Has anyone else on this forum noticed this problem, and are there any known work-arounds? There is a web service API documented here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/5/8/858F2155-D48D-4C68-9205-294 60FD7698F/%5BMS-USRPCH%5D.PDF which goes into greater depth than the online help for the way you are supposed to invoke this, but it hasn't cast any new light on this problem. Any insight would be appreciated :).
