Im new to creating a web service..... I have a public web page that
collects data this is stored in an .mdb. The plan is to create a web
service behind the firewall to get the data from the .mdb also a
windows application will be created as well so the users can view the
data that was submitted off the public website. My question is if I
have the web service behind the firewall and connect by opening a port
to retrieve the data once the data is been retrieve does the port
closes?

If your question is ,,,

Is it possible to connect to a webservice from behind a proxy server /
firewall the answer is yes
normally you use port 80 or 8080 ( default Http ) however it is possible
to use anny port you want however consultancy of your sysadmin might then
be required

the server side host process ( side of the webservice ) has always a open
port to watch for incoming requests , in the case of a .net webservice this
is normally IIS or your custom Host process that is taking care of that .
