Ideally you don&#39;t want the user needing to scroll through 8000 items in a drop down, perhaps there is a way you can filter the data down to a subset that is a little more manageable? Maybe another option is to use cascading drop down lists.</p><p>But back to the question --- I can´t imagine that there are good chances to improve performance with 8000 items in a drop down list.</p><p>If you need further information with using cascading drop downs refer to the following link:</p><p><a href="http://blueinfopath.blogspot.com/2008/11/cascading-drop-downs-in-infopath-web.html">http://blueinfopath.blogspot.com/2008/11/cascading-drop-downs-in-infopath-web.html</a></p><p>Regards,<br /></p>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/69350.aspxWed, 17 Aug 2011 04:37:55 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:69350Masroor0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/69350.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=69350<p>Hi,</p> <p>&nbsp;I have a dropdown list in a repeating table in infopath 2007. I am using a webservice to fill the dropdown from SP List. Dropdown list contains 8000 records.&nbsp;Form is getting very slow. some time it takes 60 sec to response. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Please suggest what should i do to prevent this delay.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
