SOAP Toolkit

[Hamlet]

Hi all,

Is it necessary to install the SOAP Toolkit in the users machines that call
a web service from VBA in an Access application.

The users use a managed desktop and getting anything installed involves a
lot of red tape.

Is it possible to call the web service in another way or is there a
reference that can be added that would do the same thing.

Many thanks,

You certainly need to make sure the DLLs (object libraries) your project
references are on the machine. Since VBA can't call web services without using
outside libraries, something will have to be there.

I might try copying the DLLs to the same folder the database containing the
Access VBA module is in. Then make sure you reference those libraries (using
the Browse button). With any luck, VBA will use a relative reference and do
the same when you deploy. Or perhaps your database is in a network location,
so you can set this up there?
