If there is a sample C# application then it should be easy enough to adapt that so that it could be called from VFP and return the results.

Ah. I'll change that (used to work but compuserve probably no longer map it to the other one :-{

>What credential would they be? Let me know what is needed

The sample test requires:
Customer number
Password
Email
WaybillNumber

The first three are required in order to establish the connection, the WayBillNumber to get some meaningful data back.
Munging it to a .NET dll that would be accessible to VFP should be simple.
To use it you would need a version of the .NET framework installed on the target machine.
Any preference on the .NET version (2.0 up is OK)?
