Can you navigate to "http://gcomappdev/portal/gcomws.wsdl" from Internet Explorer?

Check the last nodes, "service name", is the port name same as the 3rd parameter of the MSSoapInit method? And is the location URL same as the 1st parameter?

And does the server has VFP7 SP1 runtimes?

>>>Ok - this is getting ridiculous. I'm trying to create a very simple web service in VFP.

>>>1 - I create project, compile this into single-threaded dll DIRECTLY to my web folder which happens to be mapped from my local machine. I check and .dll, .tlb, and .vbr files are there.

so far so good
