Thanks Alex

I did a build using ASP and tried
>oWeb =loWS.SetupClient("http://TE17829/Webpub/wsclass.ASP","",'')

but got the following message.

OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from Client: WSDLReader:Loading of the WSDL file failed HRESULT=0x80070057 - 
WSDLReader:XML Parser failed at linenumber 0, lineposition 0, 
reason is: The download of the specified resource has failed.
 HRESULT=0x1..

Sigh



>Also Mark if you are using the ASP listner the your call shoud be
>oWeb =loWS.SetupClient("http://TE17829/Webpub/wsclass.ASP","",'')
