Ultimately we are calling a routine as a 'service' passing the XML and receiving back the 'answer' XML - this logic will allow abstraction off the 'core database' machine since the service call can point to any machine -- if they would complete all GeoCode actions with an "EI" XML interface, we'd be able to be "C" free... They are a bit slow getting this done -- the whole EI started as a 'skunkworks' project that ended up being marketable, but the GeoCode stuff is another group. On the tax side, the hardest thing was 'mapping' all the fields to a 'file' so the XML translations could just be handled by UniData -- lots of data in the 'EI request'!

So do you know just link directly (add voc entry) with the vptrei.dll (enhanced integration) directly in Unidata? And yes, the XML is pretty sweet. Robert, Thanks for the heads-up about regasm. Tony, I did a quick google, but got a bit of search overload. I've written plenty of web services so that's not a huge huddle. I'll take a look at your articles for some refreshers on BASIC and WS. Thank you all for your ideas and helpful advice.
