Hi,

I've posted this question in a few places but haven't gotten any
response:

We are using MSSOAPLib30.SoapClient30 inside VB6 to access a .NET web
service. It works great on dev and test (as does everything it seems
anymore!) but in some - but not all - cases on production we are
getting a generic error when using it. For some of our apps, it
appeared that what was happening is that the web service could not
handle simultaneous calls to it - because once we switched the times
apps ran and called this, it worked fine.

My question though would be if there is some setting in this object
that we needed to set to prevent such an issue from occurring?

Also, today, we had some kind of "hiccup" with this. We got a ton of
MSSoap errors on our server that the automated apps sit on, and some
WMI errors on the web server that the web service sists on. They
didn't last long and then haven't happened since. I'm not sure if they

are related, but the error the apps generated is the same one that we
think was related to the issue I described above.
