Calling a web service from access

[lance mcgonigal]

Thanks in advance for your help.

We have a help desk system that exposes itself as a web service. I have a
nightly process that executes on windows' scheduler and if an error is
produced I log it. Going forward i'd like to also report it to the help
desk in an automated fashion. It requires an XML message and responses with
a ticket number. Could someone here give me an outline of what I need to
code for.

For instance:

1. Start the process.
2. If an error is encountered format the xml message and send it. ??What
function or special object do I use??
3. Store the return into the error record.

thanks again.

Hi,
if you just need to get XML back - then you can use MSXML:
