### Issue

The **Data** menu in an action running mode is showing a blank pop-up dialog when clicked from an IE browser.

### Cause

If your IIS web server has the HTTP compression setting turned on and a user attempts to open the data list from the running action header menu in IE, a blank Windows dialog will be displayed.

The data list uses client-side dynamic HTML functionality to download and display compressed information from the IIS web server, which appears to have compatibility issues as indicated by Microsoft.

### Workaround

The solution is to turn off compression on IIS for maximum compatibility. This applies to IIS version 6.0 and higher. Prior versions do not support HTTP compression.

See the [HTTP Compression](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.webserver/httpcompression/) Microsoft article for more information.
