>Despite the fact that this may work with regular Visual FoxPro components, when the object is MSSoap, it doesn't work.

You need to reveal these details ahead of time. What good would adding an object to a SOAP Client be?

You have to keep in mind that its called SimpleOAP for a reason. YOu also have to keep in mind the cross platform capabilites of SOAP. This sort of behavior would just not work in every langauge.

Try to expain what you want to accomplish, and maybe there's a better way.
