Not sure if I am addressing your problem or not...
A few years ago (and probably a few versions of VS ago) I wote a dll which
talked to a web service.
The URL of the web service on my machine was different from that of the end
user.
After doing a
Dim lws As New localhost.TheWebService
I could do a
lws.URL = 'whatever'
Is that relevant to your question?
If not, I appologize for wasting your time !
