Can anyone comment on their experience calling Excel Web Services from Visualworks?

Thanks,

Igor,

Why would it be desirable to call web services via Excel in VW? Calling
them directly isn't easier?

I think Igor was looking to _call_ Excel Web Services from VisualWorks,

"Excel Web Services - This component provides the programmatic access
that I talked about yesterday.  It is a web service hosted in
SharePoint. You can use methods in this web service to develop
applications that incorporate calculations done by Excel Services and to
automate the update of Excel spreadsheets."

I imagine it's easy enough to try if you have the WSDL file, feed it to
the WSDL Wizard and see if the generated interface works.

Cheers!

-Boris

Yes. He elaborated that, thanks.

As I'm knowledgeable of this technology I find it convoluted... anyway
there must be advantages to it as is being offered.

Yes, it is a first approach _if_ Microsoft did not introduced
"extensions" to SOAP protocol or "enhanced" anything so plain HTML would
suffice.

Regards, and luck to Igor!
