>Sorry, but that won't work. VFP will write that out as a Variant in the COM object. The type there is what you want but you'll need to change that manually in the WSDL file afterwards from the xsd:anyType that gets generated into the WSDL file...

Hum, you are right I see that anyType in the WSDL, but ... works for me.

I used this withouth changing manually nothing in the WSDL file and I used this for tranferring zip files, pictures and binary data in a FREAD loop.

I can send you the client & server of this if you like.
