Troy,

1) Foremost, make sure you have VFP 7 SP 1. There's a COM bug in the prior version whereby missing parameters are seen as .NULL., not .F., and this one can bite.

2) Make sure the generated WSDL file is the latest version, and make sure this is the file is copied to the web root. Inside this file, make sure it says what it should, especially with respects to paths, which are therein hard-coded. This is one case where a comprehensive checklist would have been more useful than the web services wizard, which masks everything allwhile not doing the whole job and is especially problematic when it comes to reporting errors.
