I agree on the server side, but I am not aware of an easy way to use
web services for data in a VB6 client. Using one in a .Net windows
client is quite easy. That's where the big install comes in, though.

Complex data-structures like classes are a PITA to marshall in VB6,
even with the WSDL file, but discrete datatypes like String, Long,
Byte, Boolean, et.c is pretty straightforward.

you just add a reference to Microsoft SOAP Type Library (MSSOAP1.dll)
to your project, and put this in your code:

Dim oSOAPClient As SoapClient
Set oSOAPClient = New SoapClient

oSOAPClient.mssoapinit _
"http://www.dagsunde.com/soap/urn:dagsunde-quotes.wsdl";

MsgBox objSOAPClient.getQuote("IBM")


Thanks for the sample, Dag, I will try some things out. There are some places
where some simple data transfers would be useful.

The big attraction of a .Net client to me was being able to pass an entire data
set in one call - a project record, with maybe a dozen related detail records.
The client can then mess around on their own, updating several records at once,
and save by sending the whole data set back at once.
