Adding data connection from webservice

[Steve Schroeder]

While the error I am getting is rather general and non specific, I am getting
a Type Mismatch error when trying to add a new connection from a web service.
Are there any typical problems associated with this error, things to check?
Thank you.

Perhaps the type of web service you're trying to add a data connection for is
not supported? See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb852081.aspx for

Well, I'm adding a secondary data connection from an existing WSDL
file that I know previously worked. The vendor should be able to help
with the problem yet. I was told I had to manually add a complex type
to the WSDL file, which I did. I've re-double-checked the syntax and
second-guessed myself numerous times now. I'm not terribly familiar
with the format and syntax, though I have examples to work off of. The
'type mismatch' error to me at least alludes to a data type issue
issue more than anything. I know if I have a malformed WSDL file I get
a whole different message. So, I don't think I'm missing a quote or
bracket somewhere that I can see.

If you have Visual Studio, you could try creating a project with a connection
to that WSDL and see whether it works. If not, the issue is not with the data
connection in InfoPath, but with the WSDL.

Turned out to be an irrelevant or erroneous line inserted into the
WSDL file by the company's proprietary IDE

<import schemaLocation=".../MG_Template.xsd" /> *Edited for security*

After that line was removed and the file saved, InfoPath had no issues
reading the file. All along my syntax was correct, a complex type I
added. Frustrating.
