Help with Simpler Web Service

[Mike R]

Hi,

I've used the wizard to create the "Hello World" webservice

it compiles and I can access it via the http://server/site/myws.asmx

However, when I try and access it via a soap call, soap complains that it
doesnt recognise the soap action:

"Unable to handle request without a valid action parameter. Please supply a
valid soad action".

[snip] - from the webservice vb
' WEB SERVICE EXAMPLE

' The HelloWorld() example service returns the string Hello World.

' To build, uncomment the following lines then save and build the project.

' To test this web service, ensure that the .asmx file is the start page

' and press F5.

'

<WebMethod()> _

Public Function ProcessALLVouchers() As Boolean

Dim Status As Boolean

Status = True

End Function

What do i need to do to the WS to allow it to accept an action?

thanks

Hi,

I dont see where your function returns anything. Just before end
function you should have a line like return status.

return status - cut too much from the code
