Hi Rick,
thanks for your response.
I tried to do what you wrote, but when I executed the line loproxy.ConnectorProperty("UseProxy") = .T.
I got an error message regarding the property not being recognized and a HRESULT of 0x80070648
I suspect I've got a wrong SOAP version, but that's odd because the one I'm using, version 2 servicepack 2, should be the latest version.

TIA,
Erwin
