Hi, How can I consume a Web Service that returns a DATASET from classic ASP. I know how to consume the Web Service when it returns just a variable using SOAP Toolkit 3.0. But I am interested in seeing how to consume a DATASET. Thanks In Advance. ---

I think we may be losing something in the translation. I have no idea what you mean by “consume” or “Web Service” as it relates to ASP. Could you restate your question? ---

Well, What I mean was USING, UTILIZNG the web service from ASP code (NOT [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET)) specially when the .NET WEB SERVICE is returning a DATASET (collection of records from database) rather than a plain string or number value.
