>Hmmm ... looks like I'm gonna have to play around with this some ... so, you're saying that you *can* use the same method name?

Yup, that´s what I´ve done... the overloaded method is called by the same name from the client, just passing parameters of different type... quite easy... for the server-side, it´s just necessary to inform the MessageName attribute of the < WebMethod >.
