Yes, the problem I was facing was that the APIs actually made it more difficult to use Web Services. I'm now going to use my own code for a simple client and I will add functionality as required. The promise of the libraries that WS will be supported fully is simply not as good as it sounds. For the moment, I don't need async access and I'll just implement the most common binding styles, i.e. the ones that I encounter when using the client. Cheers, Jos
