If you decide to go for this, keep in mind that nearly all documentation and tutorials available for SOAP in .NET cover usage of document/literal encoding (the .NET standard to format SOAP messages), while almost any other implementation (PEAR::SOAP, J2EE etc.) uses RPC encoding. AFAIK, you currently can´t use doc/lit with PEAR::SOAP at all, so you´ll have to switch to RPC encoding on the .NET side (someone please correct me if this ain´t true anymore, as I haven´t looked at PEAR::SOAP in quite a while). Unfortunately, once you do that, implementing SOAP services in .NET becomes a pain in the ass :-( Regards, Markus -- *21st Media* | Consulting, Konzeption, Produktion für die Bereiche: Markus Wolff | Internet, Intranet, eCommerce, Content Management, Hamburg,Germany | Softwareentwicklung, 3D-Animation, Videostreaming http://21st.de | Tel.
