Ahhh, :) I say at 3:46AM. I am of on conference until monday. Many thanks as this would have bugged me to no end!! It was a late night of details. BTW, I ditched the Imports. It worked great! Now I have to wait to create a meaningful service.

Joe.

>>I have a test webservice in place at http://cyberjetx.com/wspopsmack/service1.asmx I have set a reference to it. Discovery went well. The wsApp\Web References\wsWebRef folder was created and the wsdl file and the reference files were created. However, in my sample below HelloWorld is 'not declared' :( HelloWorld is spelled correctly and displays in the 'Add Web Reference' Dialog. I have also right clicked on the wsWebRef object in the solution explorer and updated the Web Reference.
>>
>>The webservice is public so currently anyone caring to look at it may...
>>
>>

Imports wsApp.wsWebRef '<- Is this really needed
>>
>>Public Class frmTestWebService
>>    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
>>
>>'#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code " removed for post brevity
>>
>>    Private Sub cmdTestWs_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdTestWs.Click
>>        'txtWorld.Text = HelloWorld("Dino") '<- Why is this not declared?!?
>>    End Sub
>>
>>End Class
