This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
If you take off the ?wsdl and just go to >http://aspalliance.com/webservices/events.asmx, you'll see a description of the methods you can call. They explicitely state that they return DataSets. You'll need to parse these with the XMLDOM. It would be nice if they had methods that instead of:
 return MyDataSet;
they had methods that did:
 return MyDataSet.GetXML();
But, since they don't, look at what you get back from the WebService:
 oXML = o.CallTheMethod()
 oXML.
What you'll see (probably, assuming that they are indeed returning a DataSet) is the items that belong to certain objects in the DOM, the IXMLNodeList. Check out:
?oXML.item(0).parentNode.xml
Anyway, you can mess around with this and parse it yourself, or as I mentioned earlier, wwXML will handle it as well.

>>That doesn't look like something that XMLTOCURSOR() would be able to handle. How was that XML generated? I'm no XML expert, but at first glance it doesn't appear to be well-formed XML.
