If You created a multithreaded dll that's what you get if on the Server side VFP7T.dll is not installed

Other things that might pass Your way:

1. Sometimes the WSDL-Extension does not get properly installed on the Webserver. open IIS and go to the directory and go to the konfiguration-section. see if .WSDL is listed there among the other extensions.
if not add it pointing to C:\PROGRAM FILES\SHARED FILES\MSSOAP\BINARIES\SOAPISAP.DLL. BUT! You have to add it as a DOS path (C:\PROGRA~1...)

2. When ever You're testing Your WebService ALWAYS keep in mind that You will not be Yourself but the DUMMY-user IUSR_INTERNET that almost has no rights. You won't be able to access Your tables unless THIS user has
the rights to do so. If You do so You will get an error "File does not exist" instead of "Access denied" witch can be very irritating and time consuming.

3. You COM.Server will always start at C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 no matter where it actually is.

These things are very hard to find and cost me a lot of time. So maybe You're bette off.
