Too bad that Alan is no longer among us, he redid his application all in
Web Service calls years ago.

In general, the "service" is a replacement for a data store.  You ask for
data from the service and it gives it to you in SOAP, xml that is.  What
you actually receive is some sort of collection of data, that may have
collections within it.  You could do the same thing in arrays if you wanted
in VFP.

Now the data is yours to use at your desire.  You may have to package the
data back into XML that mimics the data they sent you for inserts, updates,
maybe even deletes.  Now through the "service" you post that XML pack to
them.

Today the industry is changing the name from Web Service to API but in
general it works in much the same way.
