Hi all,

I am trying to build my first VFP XML Web Services and ran into some problems when trying to publish my web services. I reinstalled VFP8 and I still can't publish my web service. I am now going to reinstall the MS SOAP 3 Toolkit and see if that will fix my problem, otherwise, I may have to reformat my machine.

I notice this note in the download page of MS SOAP, link following. My concern is, how does it affect VFP8 or other COM-based web services? Since VFP9 will still be COM based (correct?), should we be concerned at all?

The Microsoft SOAP Toolkit is deprecated by the .NET Framework. The toolkit provides basic Web services capabilities for COM components and applications. SOAP Toolkit support will be retired on July 1, 2004. For the latest on supported technologies for developing Web services, visit the Web Services Developer Center on MSDN.
