Re: Infopath with webservice connection

Hi RD,

You can install the Web service on the same directory as SharePoint but you'll want to make sure that there is no interference between the too, since SharePoint server is also a collection of Web services. In general you want to create a data connection for the ASMX page of your Web service. Without looking at your Web service more closely, I'm not sure I am going to be much more help than that. However, you can look at our DBXL Web service - it installs to SharePoint and provides quick and easy connection to SQL. Of course, it's free to use as a development tool. http://www.infopathdev.com/files/folders/dbxldownload/entry29778.aspx
