Thank you for your quick reply! looking back over my hastily typed post, i must apologize for the typos!

I had previously read the "mobile dev"article that you supplied and noticed it is dated Nov. 2002. Is that still Microsoft's recommended best practice? I didn't know if in the past year and a half technology had evolved producing a more up-to-date solution.

as for the article showing how to add a certificate to my webservice call. Who should the Certificate(the one in the .cer file) be issued to? and does the private key have to be included in that exported .cer file? My network admins are reluctant to give us a .Cer file that includes the private key in it. But without the private key the certificate will not be accepted correct? That's the trouble that i have right now.

Again, I appreciate your help!
