My condolences. > I'm RTFM-ing now, but one thing that concerns me, is that if I understand > this correctly, I need a web server to get responses back. Is this correct? Nope. SOAP is just an API for sending and receiving packets of data over the internet. Depending on how the services are set up, you should be able to "consume" (send data and get responses) from a web service set up by the other party (who likely has a web server to do this) with a FoxPro app. It is possible to configure a VFP app with appropriate web server software to act as the server in this case, but you'll need to look at the documentation supplied by the vendor to determine what services they offer and what they expect you to provide. Which FMs are you reading? Rick Strahl's west-wind.com site has some of the best references. There's also some good stuff on the Fox Wiki, and in the archives here. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CACW6n4viY+oYm1BcFPYfchPZU=D=_hxd6rbzzm-rrahcvg3...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
