Data Connection needs to be refreshed multiple times before showing current data

Hi, I have an odd problem with my forms. The forms are created using InfoPath 2007 and connect to SharePoint 2007. In my forms, I have many secondary data connections that connect to SharePoint lists (not the library to which the forms are submitted, but other libraries). When I open my forms, the data connection has to be refreshed multiple times before it shows the current data. Each refresh seems to display a different version of the form although it does not seem to iterate through every version of the form before showing the current information.

I'm not even sure what kind of information to include with this post. I used the steps in this article to connect: http://edgedev.blogspot.com/2008/09/bending-infopath-and-sharepoint-to-your.html. I had to use jscript to do the code piece for various reasons.

It works as described in the article, except for the fact that it takes several refreshes to see the current information.

Please let me know what other information might be needed to help troubleshoot this weird problem. Eventually I get the correct data, but I certainly can't be asking my users to keep refreshing until the see the right data.

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Helen
