VB6 - Call WebService

Good Day Experts!

I am challenged today with 1) working in VB6 and 2) running a WebService

I have looked around on the net how to call a WebService but I am not sure what is needed since I have never done this before.

The WebService takes in a start currency and a converted to currency.

Can you help with references that may help me achieve this and give back the exchange rate?

Thanks,

Good Day!

When I try this, I am gertting an error message "Compile error: User-defined type not defined". It appears to not like the line "Dim obj as MSXXML2.ServerXMLHTTP"

Do I need ot make a proprerty setting or add anything somewhere in the project?

Thanks,

you have to add the XML in the Project references... not sure any more how it was called, but someing like "MS XML 3.0" or "... 4.0" ...

I made a little adjustment and it is working now!

Set obj = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

This is great...now just have to parse out the answere from the Response.Text.
