Re: NEWBIE question

You might also want to look at SQLXML3.0 which can provide a direct SOAP
interface to SQL Server 2000 data without requiring ADO code:

I am entirely new to SOAP, and basically really just want to know the
following before I waste anyones time - including my own.

We are converting our app to be web compliant. It is written in VB and
uses
mainly ADO for data access. My first adventure along this line of
upgrade
was to consider RDS to satisfy the transfer of data from server to
client,
through ADO onto the client form but this is very slow and tedious.

Therefore in a nutshell, my question is as follows: Can I make use of
SOAP
to send and request data between a database on a server and a client
app,
passing though ADO?

Any help or thoughts will be appreciated.
