    extra click to poplulate drop down from data source

    I have a drop down populated from external data source in a browser enabled form and I have checked the option "Automatically retrieve data when form is opened".
    However,  I have to click once before the drop down is populated.

    When I was developing the form I found out that this started happening when I placed People selector before the dropdown in the form.
    If People selector is placed below the drop down then I don't need to click one extra time to populate the drop down.
    Also, if any other dropdown or a text box is placed before the dropdown everything works fine - no extra clicks to populate it.
    I tried to set tabIndexing to 1 for this drop down but didn't help.

    Anybody had a similar issue?

    Thanks.

    Hi Ianita,

    Thanks for mentioning this. I haven't heard of this before. The People Selector is an ActiveX control. So there could be some issue with that which is causing InfoPath to behave like that. You could also try creating an Open Rule (Form Options->General->Open Rules) to query the data connection to populate the dropdown and see if that changes the behavior. Good luck!
