Hi

My first web service seems to be OK as I can put its url in explorer and can
use the invoke button to view the returned data as xml. The problem comes
when I call it form a client app using;

Dim ws As New localhost.StaffWS
Dim ds = ws.GetStaffDiary

When the second line above is executed I get a 'The request failed with HTTP
status 401: Access Denied.' error on the line indicated below in the
\webreferences\localhost\references.vb file on the line indicated below;

<System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("http://localhost
/staff/staffws/StaffWS.asmx/GetStaffDiary",
RequestNamespace:="http://localhost/staff/staffws/StaffWS.asmx",
ResponseNamespace:="http://localhost/staff/staffws/StaffWS.asmx",
Use:=System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Literal,
ParameterStyle:=System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)> _
Public Function GetStaffDiary() As System.Data.DataSet
   Dim results() As Object = Me.Invoke("GetStaffDiary", New Object(-1) {})
'<== This line has the error.
   Return CType(results(0),System.Data.DataSet)
End Function

Any idea what this error is about and how to fix it?

Thanks

Regards
