Folks, I know this is a free forum thus folks are free to ignore questions. On the question below, the big question I have comes from my ignorance of the plumbing of Web Services. Any feedback, even feedback such as, "Sam go learn more about the SOAP envelope to find out your own confort level, fore this is something only you can answer." would be much appreciated.
