If so, try moving it to a secondary data source. Also, consider changing your view so that InfoPath doesn't have to create all of the values in the dropdown at the beginning - either use cascading dropdown or some conditional show-hide. <br /><br />Finally, you could switch to another view, do the query, and then have a button to switch back. That might be a bad user experience, but at least you'll understand where the perf hit is going.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/3519.aspxTue, 21 Nov 2006 21:11:50 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:3519Greg Collins0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/3519.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=3519You might try poping up a dialog box before the query to instruct the user that this will take some time, and to be patient.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1678.aspxTue, 21 Nov 2006 19:44:44 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1678mschmit0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1678.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=1678During a view switch I do a large SQL hit bring back a lot of data. This causes the infopath form to seem like its froze up, but in reality I'm building some drop-downs etc. I would like to display a status bar in the task pane to let users know that everything is OK.<br /><br />From my understanding the infopath form and task pane are running in the same thread. This is why my setInverval(function, ##) is not running during the SQL hit.<br /><br />I then tried to have my javascript call my managed-code and create a new thread to switch the view, but I ran into an exception because I was trying to change a UI element inside of a thread. Rats ...<br /><br />Has anyone ran into this problem before, and if so how did you go about solving it? Thanks in advance!
