Hi Greg,

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately they do not have the WSDL
available for me. I'm kinda blind on this. I know the exact information
required for the SOAP header etc. Do you know of any "SOAP wrapper"
resources on the internet I might be able to read up on? I've spent the
entire last week on this and I'm really stuck. I think I've been going up
the wrong path. I have been trying the HttpWebRequest class and sending an
XML document I've manually put together for testing, but I want to be able
to generate this a little more elegantly ;)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Steve
