Vince, VFP is not multi-threaded, don't expect it to be a service that responds to multiple clients. Something needs to instantiate multiple instances of VFP to do that. (VFP being an ISAPI control in IIS. VFP COM in a C# WCF project.) There are multiple ways to do SOAP. I understand Rick Strahl has created a good framework for this. I used the tools provided with VFP to build an internal project. It was a challenge to debug.
