I could be wrong, but as I see it, here are your choices:

1) If win95 or better, forget the Batch file and use VB/Win Scripts. You can take advantage of the SOAP toolkit this way.

2) Find some 3rd party libraries made for DOS to connect to a web site, and build an app. (This option is probably getting harder and harder to find)

3) Load a TCP/IP stack on your DOS PC, get out a C++ compiler, and start some sockets programming. You would have to post data to a port on the machine with the SOAP listner (Your VFP7 WebService). The syntax of these messages is not so bad, it is the opening ports for DOS that I'm a little shaky on.

Choice 1 would be the easiest if at all possible.

Good Luck,

Bill
