>>>>>>>>The only way I know of doing this in VFP is using the MSSoap.SoapClient API. But, AFAIK, this is now obsolete and, IAC, not sophisticated enough to handle the required authentication. 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.

>>Assuming that the sample code works the task is trivial. If you can let me know which .NET version you will use I can email you an EXE to test. If that works then converting to a dll that can be called by VFP and will return objects that you can use in VFP is trivial.

I'll email you privately since this thread won't be of general interest....
