Thanks for the reply. The web service is actually a .Net web service. I didn't know if my VFP app would be able to access it without loading something on each users workstation. We don't have to do that now and would like to avoid it, if possible.

>One thing to remember about a vfp web service that accesses a network share is that you'll need to impersonate a user that has the proper rights to the network (it's the same for a vfp web service that accesses SQL Server). The easiest way to do this is to create a COM+ package that works with your vfp mtdll which is very straightforward when using the Wizard...
>>We have a VFP 7 app that users run from a network share. The VFP runtimes are on the share also. This makes user inst?lation easy. We just point a shortcut to the exe and away they go. Now we want to have the application access web services from a .Net app also running on our network. I am assuming that we will use SOAP to access the service. Will the user machines need anything loaded/registered on them, or can we still run everything from the network drive?
