I'm afraid that is not the case, I ran it in another computer without
registering the service and it works fine. Try this, go the Task Pane;
Tools-->Task Pane, click on XML Web Services and then click on
Register an XML Web Service, is going to ask you to enter the URL,
use the link for the service http://www.webservicemart.com/uszip.asmx?wsdl
And if the task pane is successfull then you try in code, using
the task pane code.

Good luck.


>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?
