Hi Claude, thanks for the information.
>...and the vc++7 runtime.
What is this file called (I will be using VFP8) and where do I find it? I cannot see it anywhere on my HDD.
What about the WSDL file? Does this have to be installed on the server machine? If so, where?

What is the difference between a mtdll and an .exe?
>Always use COMRETURNERROR
I guess this has something to do with error handling, but what is COMRETURNERROR, and how do I use it?
The function will require access to some small .dbf tables. Rather than supply these as separate files, is it ok to included them in the .dll (as I would for an .exe running on a network)?
Thankyou for your patience with a beginner in this area. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in the end. The idea of web-services is great, but I would have thought it should be easier to send data from a web-app to a VFP function, and return the result(s) back to the web-app. The setup and additional components required seems really complicated (for me, at least) to get up-and-running. I'm surprised that even Microsoft haven't come up with anything easier (yet, :-( )
Regards,
Alan
