I think you need to uncheck the box "Automatically retrieve data when form is opened" in the Data Connection Wizard when you are creating the data connection.

Hi dboysmith, I don't think it's possible to by pass the load of the data connection.

But you can Add an action to set a default field value and assign it the function username(), after that you modify your data connection to use this field as parameters.

I have an infopath form that uses web service data connections to get data from the built in SP Web services (UserGroup)
Is there a way to prevent the data connection from executing until an event happens?
Currently the data connections is trying to execute the web service method as soon as the form loads in the browser. The method requires a parameter which hasn't been set and it fails.
