Hi all,

Does any body know if I can catch an error onLoad and resume with some error handling code? I am assigning full trust to my forms but for people who have not got the forms registered, I want to suppress the infopath message that says "the form is using your computer resources" and just quit the application with a more user-friendly message.

Sure, you can put a try/catch around the section that is accessing the computer resources, parse the exception message and display an alert with the message you want. Of course, this requires C# but it's easy to do.

Sorry Patick could you perhaps direct me on where to implement this try/catch clause? I have placed it in the form's onLoad event but no matter how I wrote it the InfoPath standard error message "form is using your computer resource" still pops up.

I have a feeling InfoPath checks for the requireFullTrust attribute before reading my code. This meant that I cannot suppress the InfoPath message. Is there a workaround?

Go to Form Options and set the security to be automatic. Do you have any data connections defined to your local hard drive? If so, I suggest removing them and adding programmatically. One more method would be to create a form from scratch and test it out ... hope this helps! More soon.
