Outlook 2010 and SharePoint 2010 InfoPath workflow

Hi guys,

I have setup a workflow to send task notifications to users and I am getting an error when attempting to act on the InfoPath based workflow task form that appears in Outlook 2010 when clicking on the "Edit this task" button. After clicking Approve, the form disappears, but after a few seconds a dialog box appears that says:

"This task could not be updated at this time"

I also found that each time after Application Pool recycling ran (i.e. this happens out of hours) or if there is an amount of time that a connection has not been made to between Outlook client and SharePoint this issue happened again.

The odd thing is that this would only happens for the first time for the first user who does this. After this task run once for the rest of a day all approval tasks work fine. I believe that there may be some sort of cached issue or some type of TimeOut issue between the client and SharePoint.

I have increased the resources on my SharePoint WFE but still no luck. I was wondering if you can help.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
