Association and Initiation Forms in a custom workflow for Moss 2007

Did you ever made a custom workflow for Moss 2007 with Microsoft Infopath and Visual Studio 2005 and needed an association and initiation form?  I created my forms in Infopath and when I installed the workflow in moss I manually connected the workflow to my library.  The association form showed just like planned.  The next step was adding a document to my library so I would see the initiation form: so far, no good.  The initiation form didn’t show, instead I had an error telling me my xsd wasn’t valid.  Although I did publish my form and saved the source files I didn’t know what went wrong.  Here’s the clue: apparently the xsd of both association and initiation forms has to be the same.  Know the easiest way to do that: create your association form and in the DataSource you have to put all your elements.  Then when your association form is created and saved, just do a “save as” for the initiation form.  Both xsd’s will be the same and your forms will be shown!
