Hi again. I too use VFP 8.0. When I pause to print out loNotification, it says just 'Object'. leRtnVal says 'null'. I did not register the web service as I've never attempt this before, probably this is causing the errors?



>Hi Timothy, Yes it is suppose to work as it is, I copy the code from this message in my computer running VFP8 and it ran without a problem, see
