>>I have tried to connect to serveral web services that return complex data 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'.

Sorry, missed a bit on the last post...

ob = oa.item[1]
?ob.baseName  && "Owner"
?ob.text      && "xmethods"
...
ob = oa.item[5]
?ob.baseName && "wsdlURL"
?ob.text     && "http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/EBayWatcherService.wsdl"
