Thanks for the reply Russell, I have now discovered this particular thing also 
supports REST api, just trying to figure out oAuth

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.
