You are creating a SOAP connection, right? Not accidentally selecting REST? EDITED TO ADD: I missed your additional response! Glad you have it sorted out.

Well the error was correct! I did in fact have the URL wrong. I had it to the form library and needed to go up a level to the SubSite URL. *FacePalm* Thank you for your help Hilary!!

I get a list of Lists Web Service options.So that's good! When I try to connect in InfoPath I get the error I described above and then the attached error. "The File is not a valid XML File. The File cannot be accessed"

Thanks for the additional info. If you paste the same URL - just through asmx, no need to include ?WSDL - into the address bar of your browser, what happens?

This is in InfoPath Designer when making a SOAP Web services Data connection. I can't get past the first screen in the Data Connection Wizard where you put "URL/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL. When I do that, I get a "We can't connect to "URL/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL" . Please make sure you are using the correct web address.

I don't see anything in your post about the error you are getting? Is it in InfoPath designer, when you try to connect to the lists service (or the user profile service, which this post was about)? Or in the browser when you try the form? If in the browser, copy the correlation ID from the error details and send it to your SP Farm support personnel with info on what time the error occurred so they can find it in the logs.

I don't have access to the servers unfortunately. Does something need to be enabled at the server level in order for it to work? I would have to work with the SP Farm support personnel.

The URL should still the same. Check the server's ULS logs, that may give you some insight into the issue.

Sheila, I know this is from a long time ago, but did you ever figure out what the issue was for this?

Hilary, I'm having this same issue. Was this ever resolved? It worked fine with SP 2010, but now I'm moving to SP 2013. Is the URL the same? _vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL

And the URL works in the browser? Returns a page with the web service operations?

My bad I typed the URL incorrectly HERE but did type it correctly in my SOAP call

http://oursharepointsitecollection/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL so that's not the issue.

I'm sorry, I didn't read closely enough. Your URL doesn't look right - it is missing /_vti_bin

Try your URL in the browser first to make sure it returns the page that shows the operations for the service.

http://oursharepointsitecollection/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL

HI Hilary

I didn't even get that far. It errored while trying to connect to the SOAP service.

Are you setting the query parameter in the web service data connection prior to executing it? I'd try that first. Walk through the data connection again and deselect the check box in the last dialog for automatically returning data on load. In the form load rules, set the query field to the userName() function and then run the query.
