>What is the structure of the XML strings returned by the methods of "MyWS"? Are they simple cursors that contain a list to be shown in the drop down list or are they something more? Could you provide an example of the SELECT statement used to create one of the XML strings?

Look at the method in the web service.

>>I find it confusing that a DataSet is the datasource to a dropdown list. I would expect that a column of a DataTable which itself exists within a DataSet would be the datasource to the dropdown list. Perhaps it depends on the exact structure of the XML string (?).

Works because only one column returned.
