That much I get...and thanks Barney...tad more elegant than I put it ;-) I'm after the difference between the XML sent as the response and the XML string I can send instead of say a query (i.e. I searialize the query and return an XML string....that XML string is then defined in the XML response). I'm confused about the difference between those 2 bits of XML. If someone asked if a web service returned XML would the answer be yes no matter what data type it returns (becauise all responses are in XML)? or would it only be yes if that data was returned as XML and not a query/struct/etc.? This is overkill for a Friday afternoon....but I'n tryin anyway ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
