Refresh web service data structure

[InfoRefresh]

I have a web service that has an updated data class and I
would like to refresh my InfoPath form to see the new
addition to the class. How can I do this without having
to build a new form just to have it load the data
structure in the "Data Source"

-thanks

Use Service Pack 1, and choose Tools-Update Data Source. That will refresh
the schema. Without SP1, you'll have to do lots of hand-editing of the
files, but it is possible. See the newsgroup archives for some examples.

Hi,

I presume Brian means Tools - Convert Main Data Source - as I can't see
Tools - Update Data Source... And the Convert Main Data Source is the
feature to use when refreshing {normal} schema changes.

I believe that for a web service schema update you will have to update it
against the schema and not the web service. It (Convert Main Data Source) is
unable talk to the web service.

Paul.

When donig a "Convert Main Data Source" against a new web service, it will
look at the WSDL from the web service and update based on that.
