VB.Net Web Services?

Hi There,

I apologise if I am posting this in the wrong area.

My problem is - I have a project to complete which will allow our
database to intigrate with another company's database via web services
using WSDL, SOAP and XML. All my coding experience is in VB6. I have
some XML Knowledge.

I have been trying to get started on this for two days now but still
can't seem to get the infrastructure required clear in my head. Can
anyone direct me to a good online location for explaining the basics -
or an online training course?

Really I just need a set of step of what is required. I think it will
need to be done in VB.net. I will need to have our side of the
application sitting on a server? Will an Apache server work ok with
Windows XP pro or will I need to install a server OS? This will then
in turn create the XML file containing the data we wish to send to the
external company and wrap it in a SOAP envelope. SOAP will then send
this information from our server to theirs - where another app will be
sitting "listening" for SOAP message? Will VB.net will tell the App to
wait for a response before sending the second phase?? I am just trying
to get this clear in my head and I seem to be getting nowhere!

Any help or direction would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks,
Suzie
