Default Web Services using vba

Thanks for the reply. I used to be able to connect directly to a SQL Server
database and bring the data automatically into Excel but now I have to go
through a terminal server to access the data so I was hoping to create web
services to the data on the SQL Server and consume them in Excel.

Is it possible to consume web services in Excel using vba or do you need

to
use .NET?

Maybe. I wouldn't recommend it. I think you would need VB6 or .Net code that
in turn calls Excel. Microsoft has recommended against using Excel as a
server application. Can you please tell more about what you want to do?
