----------------------------------------------------------- From: johnsonsmithy2k2 Message 1 in Discussion This small info illustrates how you can add a Web service to a Visual Basic for Applications project and call a method in that service. The sample Web service you will reference is the EightBall Web service. You will write code that calls the Ask method in the EightBall Web Service; this method accepts a question as a parameter and returns a random answer. Note: For details on the EightBall Web service, visit http://www.gotdotnet.com/playground/services/EightBall.aspx. While this small information shows how you can use a Web service in Microsoft Word, it does not incorporate any functionality that is specific to Word. Therefore, you can use these same steps in other Office applications Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Access to reference and call a Web service. Start a new document in Microsoft Word. On the Tools menu, click Macro, and then click Visual Basic Editor. On the Tools menu in the Visual Basic Editor, click Web Service References. The Web Service References Tool 2.0 dialog box appears. Add a reference to the EightBall Web Service: Type "GotDotNet" for the Business Name and click Search. Your search criteria is submitted to the UDDI server; the results are shown in the Search Results window as a list of Web services and methods. Select EightBallWS in the Search Results list and click Add. The proxy class for the Web Service is added to the project and named "clsws_EightBallWS". On the Insert menu in the Visual Basic Editor, click Module to add a code module to your project. The code module is named "Module1" by default. In Module1, type the following code: Public Function AskEightBall(sQuestion as String) as String Dim wAnswer As New clsws_EightBallWS AskEightBall = wAnswer.wsm_Ask(sQuestion) End Function Public Sub TestEightBall() Dim sQuestion As String sQuestion = InputBox("What is your question for EightBall?") MsgBox AskEightBall(sQuestion) End Sub Place your cursor anywhere inside the TestEightBall procedure and press F5 to run it. When prompted for a question, type "Does this sample work?" and click Okay. The procedure creates a new instance of the Web service proxy class (clsws_EightBallWS) and calls the Ask method with your question as a string parameter. The Web service returns a random string as your answer.
