Re: IWS problems

[Richard Schoen <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why don't you post a small shell working version of the service program source and maybe we can help. 

Beyond that hard to tell what you're running up against.

I know I've been successful calling the IWS stuff from VB.Net.

More:

Several of the parameters had decimal points. They worked just fine from the web service tester, as I recall, but they appear to have been the problem with the customer's call from VB.NET, because when we scaled the parameters to eliminate the decimal points, and redeployed, everything worked just fine.

Any idea what's up with that?
