Thats odd. I didnt see the request. Ive been buzy with a web service and I can tell you that VFP is incapable of handling complex web services. The easiest way is to wrapper the VFP dll with a .net. I can also tell you its not easy. I have had loads of fun (not) havibg to figure out c# and its indiosicracies as well as WSDL's. Its a nightmare. But its probably still the easiest way. Rick has a starter white paper on calling VFP from .Net and its worth a look. Is it being created from a WSDL or are you just making a simple Web Service from VFP. If the later then I have done that with a single ASP page and VFP COM dll. But whatever you do you CAN use VFP for the main work. Allen
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew MacNeill Sent: 25 January 2008 17:05 I have had excellent luck with Rick Strahl's free wwsoap class. I was dealing with a particularly troublesome web service from Qualcomm and many were thinking "oh, we'll have to build a DotNet DLL wrapper for it" - but in the end, I was able to do it perfectly from with VFP. Still I agree about using http or classic ASP, I use that for a lot of things and have found a number of companies that offer a "web service' that is really nothing more than a "web api" that I can get a response from with an http request.
