Hi John, I followed your suggestion and built the SOAP client using the wsdl.exe tool. I specified the user name and the password among the parameters, but I don't see them in the code of the class that was created, unlike say the access point. Needless to say, the result is identical: "Connection was unexpectedly closed by the server". Do I need to add something other resource to the project? I checked the results of the wsdl command and there is only one ".cs" file that got created. Am I missing something?

I'm thinking with the user ID you have and password that this tool can do the job you need. I'm blocked in experimenting of course as I do not have the credentials that you have been supplied with.
