    The form Cannot be opened because some external data cannot be retrieved

    I just recently moved a timesheet from wss 3.0 to sharepoint foundation 2010. All the data was directed to old sharepoint, changed it all to the new site.

    However, when i publish to the new site, and try to open, it gives error: The form Cannot be opened because some external data cannot be retrieved, and in the description it gives:Cannot connect to the following Web service: http://sharepoint/QdabraAD/AdUserInfo.asmx?WSDL. There may be a problem with the Web server or the connection has timed out.

    i cant find any data with AdUserInfo anywhere, and so i dont know how to change it to the new site. Anyone know where i can find this web service???

    sharepoint was the old page and i installed the adwebservice on the new one. I installed it find, but cant open an existing form or a new form as it gives the webservice error http://sharepoint/QdabraAD/AdUserInfo.asmx?WSDL

    Where can i change this option.

    Hello,

    You will need to install the Active Directory StandAlone Tool on the new server (ShP 2010). If I understand correctly, you have already done this. Does the AD web service return data if you test it thru http://sharepoint/QdabraAD/AdUserInfo.asmx via IE while logged in to the server?

    The form might need to be updated such that it uses the correct path to the webservice. It might still be trying to contact the old server, instead of the new web service path.
