Hi Bonnie,

For a windows app I get something similar the folowing automatically added to the app.config file when I add the reference to the proj:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <applicationSettings>
        <WindowsApplication2.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="WindowsApplication2_com_theurl_www_class"
                serializeAs="String">
                <value>http://theurl.com/lvlink/ws/class.asmx</value>
            </setting>
        </WindowsApplication2.Properties.Settings>
    </applicationSettings>
</configuration>

Changing the < value > changes the URL used for the service. I've mangled the above to protect the innocent but you should see something similar. Pretty much the same thing is created in the web.config for a web application as well.
BTW, why are we messing with this stuff on a Sunday anyway<g>

Viv
