Tim,

Seems to me that Web Services that return XML would be more "standardized", and this one does not return XML. Seems strange to me.

But ... I played around with it a bit ... I tried to do an XMLTOCURSOR() on the returned value and of course, it blew up. But, then instead of cancelling the prg, I simply suspended it and was able to play around with the returned value. It's an array of objects ... and you can't see what the objects are in the debugger. But, if you go to the command window, Intellisense will kick in and you can find something out about the objects.
x = oWS.getAllSOAPServices

XMLTOCURSOR(x, "testCursor")
*--- blows up here, but then go the command window and ...

? x(1).length
? x(1).item(1).xml
That's as far as I went with it, but play around more if you like.

objects. I have no problem with the connection, but I can not read the output. When I suspend my foxpro app and do a display memory. I see the object that was return to my app, but it just says 'unknown type'.
