Daniela and Keith,

Rick Strahl posted a message that provide sample .NET code to take the received byte array and create an image file. The message #863609 is the one to look at.

You might be okay passing the image as a string, but you will most likely run into character encoding problems based on your server's locale information. Try copying the string into an array in VFP and then sending the array to the Web Service.
