Sue,

Did you ever get this issue resolved ? It sounds eerily similar to a problem I am now having with trying to consume Web Services over a VPN in VFP 9. The object doesn't have the properties I'm expecting to see (although I can call a search method, but it returns a null object).

Thanx

Also the company who have created the web service have got VFP8 and have tried to connect and have been unable to do so. They have someone there with very limited experience of Foxpro who registered the web site but was still unable to conect to it.
