Need general directions
I'm trying to write a program that uses web services (XML) with a
login/password to populate a custom userform that collects more data through web services and plops it all in a single report. I want different filters to be available to users so they can see products based on manufacturer or other specifications. There are dozens/hundreds of products per manufacturer. I don't even know if what I want to do is possible so I would appreciate any feedback/direction. I want to be able to query (in a sense) the web services to populate a listbox from which the user will select different products he/she wants to examine (moves to another listbox). I then want to use that list from the second listbox to query the webservices and get more information about the products (price, discounts, etc.). My alternative is doing a raw data-dump that takes more than 5min and creates a big-ass file (10MB+) neither of which I am very fond of. Again, I don't know if I'm asking too much. I appreciate any help, tips, pointers, laughs in the face, etc. :) -- -SA |

Lookup Autofilter in Help and you will probably find what you want.

Hi,
Windows Services Enhancements allows some Filtering based on parameters provided in SOAP Headers or Body. Populating ListBox using a Web Service could be done with simply a Web Method that fetch records from database and return a DataSet to Client Please also specific your query so that i can better response you "OssieMac" wrote: Lookup Autofilter in Help and you will probably find what you want. -- Regards, OssieMac "StumpedAgain" wrote: I'm trying to write a program that uses web services (XML) with a login/password to populate a custom userform that collects more data through web services and plops it all in a single report.

I don't know what happened here. My reply was meant for a different post that
was a very simple question of only one line and when aashraf posted I got a notification and when I look at it I see my reply finished up on the wrong post. -- Regards, OssieMac "OssieMac" wrote: Lookup Autofilter in Help and you will probably find what you want. -- Regards, OssieMac "StumpedAgain" wrote: I'm trying to write a program that uses web services (XML) with a login/password to populate a custom userform that collects more data through web services and plops it all in a single report.
