InfoPath Dev

Hello,

I'm working on a infopath browser enabled form. One of the fields in this form is used
for choosing a customer. There is a list of more than 8000 customers. First I tried to
implement a ressource file, but the form gets very slow.

Are there better solutions available? I'd like to store the customer data in a SharePoint
List in order to let people search in the infopath form for a customer. Is something like
that possible? Any experience?

 i would suggest you use object model to fetch the contents at run time, give the users a text box to fill in the first few letters of the customer name and then fetch the matching records and populate them in a dropdown box and let the user choose the customer name. this approach will be faster

Hi Qazi,

I'm a InfoPath newbie. Can you give me more detailed information about the object model?

Any links, examples or something like that.

Thank a lot

 What about a solution without program code in the InfoPath form? Any ideas?

 Thanks in advance.
