Thanks a lot for your reply, Qazi.
When you say "deploy" do you mean create a new form from a template... by double-clicking on the template file, or clicking the "Create" button in a sharepoint form library? If so, then deploying takes a long time. And everytime the form is opened after it is initially created, it takes a long time. It's not just a matter of seconds, it takes minutes. Users think that their infopath app is crashing.
Building the project only takes a matter of seconds. If that's what you mean by deploy.
My code project doesn't even contain any statements. The event methods are just empty shells. I need to troubleshoot this form creation/opening issue before I'll even bother with actual.
Thanks again for your post.
