>I'm trying to start working with web services, but I'm receiving this error message: Unknow COM status code.

First, lets verified if that is related to your Web Service setup, to your SOAP client setup or to your network setup. Try this code:

* Create the SOAP object
loUniversalThread=Createobject("mssoap.soapclient30")
loUniversalThread.mssoapinit("http://www.levelextreme.com/"+;
 "WebService/universalthread.wsdl")

lcUsername='something'
lcPassword='something'

* Do the login
loUniversalThread.Login(lcUsername,lcPassword)

* Get the news for the last 20 days
lcXML=loUniversalThread.GetNews(DATE()-20,DATE(),5)
XMLTOCURSOR(lcXML,'Temp')
BROWSE

Don't forget to replace lcUsername and lcPassword with your username and password.

Let me know if that works. If yes, then, at least, your SOAP client setup would be ok.
