Thanks for reply. I ran your code as is, was it supposed to work as is? I am not sure going about registering a web service. The error message I get is:

OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from Client:
Client:An unanticipated error occurred during the
processing of this request. HRESULT=0x800A13BE
- Client:Sending the Soap message failed or no
recognizable response was received
HRESULT=0x800A13BE - Client:Unspecfied client error
