How to detect failed submit to a webservice?

[Kevin Buchanan]

I am sumitting data from InfoPath to a webservice. But how can I tell if the
submit fails? To test a "failure", I changed the password in the connection
string for the web service; furthermore, I looked in SQL to be sure a record
wasn't created.

But from Infopath, it gives a message that "The form was successfully
submitted".

How does the web service let Infopath know the sumission was successful?

Have you checked the event viewer on the server? I'm not sure how much help
it would be, but I have seen some errors show up there related to web
services.
I haven't tried this and I'm no expert on web services, but you could
capture text within your web service to a log file.
Hope that helps.

I did check the eventlog - nothing - not even a "generic" error. I'll look
around to se if i find anything on "logging/debugging" web services.

Thanks.

If you have logging enabled in IIS for the web service, you could check there
also. Good luck!
