And your data connection is already uploaded to the library you want to use for this?

I'm trying to convert an existing connection from a local data connection library to a centrally managed connection library.  I have no problem connecting to my local data connection.

So, my data connection library is already created, my data connections are already there. In the data connection wizard, I select Search for connections on a Microsoft SharePoint Server.
