Hello David,

Couple of questions for you...

When you say you can "see it through a browser," to what are you referring? Are you typing the URL of the .asmx file in the browser?

When you're attempting to register the web service with Intellisense, what did you enter for the WSDL URL Location? Did you remember to add "?wsdl" at the end (e.g. http://YourWebSvcVirtualDir/YourWebSvc.asmx?wsdl)

To correctly register the web service, VFP needs access to the WSDL file so it can build its references/proxies correctly.

Another common mistake is not starting IIS, but it sounds as if you've already done that if you can get to the .asmx file through a IE or another browser.
