Hi Dave
Yes still about and still playing with Web Services. Bad Steve was helpful
++ when I started this. I ended up with ASP.net c# and VFP com in the end
but that was a web service talking to a web service.
The first thing that comes to mind is you do not have soap3 installed. That
was disowned by MickySoft back 2005. Download. com has it
http://download.cnet.com/SOAP-Toolkit-3-0-Redistributable/3000-2070_4-10733017.html
That would give the result you see.
I was not complimentary about VFP and web because it could not handle
complex WSDL's hence I required asp.net to act as a front end.

Subject: Damned Web Services....
Guys,
I've just been asked by someone to connect to their webservices and consume
some info. I have tried all the std demos that seem to be available after
trawling through the interweb but can't even get a start on how to
understand the damned thing along with Soap etc...
I know Allen (if he is around) has done lots of work with web services and
his feedback has not been complimentary to the technology at times so has
anyone got a very simple bit of code for a web service that actually works
to get me started. I did have a VFP examplel onto the Daily Dilbert that I
downloaded some time ago but that is dead now for the code that I have and
something like that would be really helpful.
On most of the examples I get as far as:
loWS =
NEWOBJECT("WSHandler",IIF(VERSION(2)=0,"",HOME()+"FFC\")+"_ws3client.vcx")
This does creat an loWS object but when I create the actual client.. eg (for
one downloaded example that doesn't work):
loZipWS =
loWS.SetupClient("http://webservices.eraserver.net/zipcoderesolver/zipcoderesolver.asmx?WSDL";,
"ZipCodeResolver", "ZipCodeResolverSoap")
loZipWS comes back as ""
I just don't know where it is hanging up or going wrong or even where to
look ... eg do I need anything else SOAP wise on my system.
VFP 9 SP2
