Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 may stop responding when you repeatedly click the Delete command button

Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 may stop responding when you repeatedly click the Delete command button to delete sections in a repeating section table on a form. Additionally, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:This problem may occur when you use a form that has several command buttons.

The problem occurs because the Mshtml.dll shared system component experiences an access violation. The problem occurs when Mshtml.dll processes button-focus events at the same time that the document that hosts the buttons reloads.

InfoPath 2003 uses Mshtml.dll to display a form.
