There is a little caveat: I know absolutely nothing of .NET :-( , so there is no way I would be able to build a .NET WS. I was thinking of a VFP web service and use the old SOAP Toolkit with it.
Unless I build the component in VFP and publish it as a .NET WS, if it is not too complicated. I believe VFP can consume a .NET WS (can it?) I am getting confused already Please, enlighten me!
