You can't call a web service directly from a command line from a DOS app. But, you can call a standard VFP exe from the command line so long as you are not expecting to wait for the result. You can read in parameters passed at the command line to a VFP exe in the main prg, and call the web service that you have set up. You would have to make the DOS app call the exe, then wait for a file to be created or something like that. As soon as you call a windows exe from DOS, it will run off in a seperate process.
