Same here for Visio 2010 TP. If anyone has access to the Beta, can you check if it's still an issue. If so, submit an error to connect.microsoft.com.

Ok so while I don't know specifically what was happening under the hood, so to speak, the problem was caused by my installation of the "Office SharePoint Designer 2010 (x86) – Technical Preview".

Uninstalled that and the Web Service Data Connection appears to be working as normal.

Thanks,

Ben

The error comes after selecting the method - It never gets to the point where I can add the sample.

Edit: Added screen shot for reference:

You get the error after selecting the web method or after the part where it asks you to send a sample? You have to send a valid sample for it to retrieve a live set of data before it will work.

Web Service Data Connection Error

I'm receiving a strange error when I try to create a new data connection to receive information from a web service. This error occurs when I try to set up a data connection in any form (including a new blank form) and using any web service. The steps to reproduce are as follows:

Tools > Data Connections > Add > "Create new connection to: Receive data" > Next > "From where do you...: Web service" > Next > "enter web service location..." > Next > "Select an operation: (any operation)" > Next .... error pops up after clicking next saying "InfoPath has encountered an error. The operation failed. The parameter is incorrect."

I haven't found any information online pertaining to this error message in this scenario - Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you,

Ben
