Hi Dave

I ran the http://domain/EyeTest_ws.asmx url path from my pc and from the server 
where CF is installed but could not test it as it says the form is only 
available for requests from the local machine. 

The service description looks fine though

Probably not. Does a visit to the asmx file in your browser require
authentication?

CF directly support HTTP Basic Authentication with web services - you
can specify a username and password in the CF Administrator, and give
your web service a friendly name, and use that name in your CFINVOKE
instead. But again, this doesn't sound like an authentication issue.

You say the WSDL looks fine. How exactly did you test? Did you test
this from the web server running CF? Are you specifying a
fully-qualified path?
