Hi Jim,

I've been following your posts the last few days regarding Web Services; as this is an interest to me as well.

Only reason for this post <g> is to kick up some talk about this, I am finding some difficulty in the usefullness of a WS vs a standard Web Connect, PHP, ASP, etc, connection.

Just kicking in my worthless .2cents, as I know NUL about web services. But, am curious about it.
