See my babelfish example in the last email. It's called the "WSDL 
First" approach from all my reading.

Yeah, but how do I get the soap document into an XML document so that 
I can get the username with say 
myxml.Envelope.Body.authenticate.strUserName? Everyone keeps telling 
me I don't have to do anything. But obviously I do because I've been 
staring at this desktop for a week and the application is still 
barely started. LOL

This is all i want to do, and will probably get me on my way.

1) Place the initial XML post that's sent to my web service into an XML doc.
2) Parse the xml for the username and password.
3) Return XML based on whether the login is successful.

I just saved the QB supplied copy and entered the address to my cfc 
in soap:address location. By "switching" to my wsdl I just mean 
switching back and forth for testing between my wsdl and the one at 
developer.intuit.com.

OK  then. I'm going to attempt the cfc method. What the heck.
