Thanks for your detailed response to my overly simplistic question--obviously this is very good for your case.
I can provide a little bit of additional info in that I have worked, or more correctly tried to work with, CFC web services from VB using the same SOAP objects that you'll use in VBScript. You will want to make sure that all users have the latest MS SOAP Toolkit 3.0 as it provides better compatibility, but even then there are still problems consuming CFMX web services from VB due to bugs in CFMX and Axis--using the wrong prefixes and such. Many of these hopefully will be fixed with CFMX updater release 2. FYI, in our case, we dropped CFMX web services and rolled our own SOAP based services using XML and XSLT (actually, we created XSLT templates to transform SOAP into WDDX, which worked really well). Good luck!
