Problem in accessing Web Service from Excel

Question

Hi All,
I have faced a new problem when calling WS from Excel.
I have created a WS from CAF which has one method and the method takes a list (a table) of structure as an input and returns a string as output. The structure contains three fields
such as
medPlace -- String
publictn - String
amount - long
This WS is working fine when I am testing from WS Nevigator.
Now I have imported the WS in Excel and now the data types are like
medPlace -- String
publictn - String
amount - double
My requirement is to send the multiple row of the Excel to the WS at a time( I mean as a List). So when I have executed it first time I got error like “deserialisation error”. But I got an article (SAP Web Services and Microsoft Office: How to Create Simple Composite Applications ) by Marcus Schiffer and that problem is resolved.
But Now I am getting the error like ......Client:Type conversion failure for element eXLSTRUCT0 HRESULT=0x80020005: Type mismatch. - Client:Unspecified client error. HRESULT=0x80020005: Type mismatch.
eXLSTRUCT0 - This is my structure name in input.
Can you please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance
Chandan

Is it possible that your web service is receiving something
with an ill
formed tag. I'd second bitwyse's suggestion.
