Hi Bonnie,

Many thanks for your quick reply. I did indeed reinstall Soap, but this time Service Pack 2, which I found at www.msdn.microsoft.com/soap. The "UseProxy" parameter you mention below is apparently a new feature. Well it works, kind of. The code now looks like this :


* ...etc.
oFoxCentral=loWS.SetupClient("http://www.foxcentral.net/foxcentral.wsdl","foxcentral","foxcentralSoapPort")

IF VARTYPE(oFoxCentral)=="O"
oFoxCentral.ConnectorProperty("UseProxy") = .T.
lcXML=oFoxCentral.GetItems(DATE()-365,0,0,"")
ENDIF
*...etc


When I step through the code with the debugger, it seems to work OK, but when I run the whole thing without breakpoints, I get the same "0x800a151e: Unknown COM status code". Does anyone know what this could be due to? Synchonisation? Timeout? Any help gratefully received.

Best wishes,
Neil
