connecting web parts in sharepoint

Question

I am trying to connect to simple webparts in my sharepoint team site, i need one of the webparts to filter its information based on what it recieves from another webpart

I am using the query string filter webpart and the a list view webpart but no matter how i connect them always i am getting this error

"Web Part Error: This page has exceeded its data fetch limit for connected Web Parts. Try disconnecting one or more Web Parts to correct the problem."

What should I do and what am I doing wrong

update: i can connect to web parts on some other pgae, but getting this error on the DispForm.aspx page of a certain item , is webpart connections not allowed there ??!!

There is an issue with creating QueryString filter webparts in sharepoint, when you're not using the Web UI (I'm making an assumption that you aren't).

This fella here has a post about it and how he hacked around the issue.

Another option is not using the QueryString filter web part at all, and just passing querystrings to a regular web part.

The page 'DispForm.aspx' usually is a form of a SharePoint list and different rules apply to list-form pages than on pages that do not belong to a Sharepoint list (and the differences are hardly documented). I solved the problem by workarounds; you could use not a ListViewWebPart, but a DataViewWebPart (Using Query String and Data view WebPart), or you could avoid the QueryStringFilterWebPart by using URL parameters that the ListViewWebPart understands (ListViewWebPart Filter Param).
