InfoPath Dev

I have a couple of owssvr connections in my infopath form. They work fine in the client but in the browser the first try always fails and subsequent tries work just fine. Any reason why the first try would fail for both connections?

 I should mention that my URl includes the URL option NOREDIRECT=TRUE.

It could be a timeout in IPFS. We have seen cases where SharePoint produces timeouts because it takes longer than 30 seconds to respond.

The default data connection timeout in the SharePoint settings is 10 seconds. If the data connection is taking longer than 10 seconds to connect, expect to get an error. Increase this timeout value to resolve the issue.

1.            Go to Central Administration for SharePoint
2.            Click on General Application Settings
3.            Click Configure InfoPath Forms Services
4.            Look for the Data Connections timeout section and increase the values.
5.            Then try to reproduce the issue.

Hope this helps!
