>http://services.xmltoday.com/vx_engine/wsdl_publish.vep/translate.wsdl
>
>From following he above link & extracting frome the XML

>I know this can work, as I saw it with my own eyes. I just wish I had taken better notes. If you wouldn't mind pointing me at the correct *.wsdl file, I would greatly appreciate it.
