You can call a webservice from VBA simply by posting the soap envelope. Here is an example:
Dim http As New WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
Dim URL As String
Dim envelope As String
URL = "http://notificationserver/NotificationServer/NotifyService"
envelope = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?><soap:Envelope soap:encodingStyle=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"" xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"" xmlns:soapenc=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"" xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"" xmlns:tns=""http://NotificationServer.nvidia.com/""><soap:Body><tns:notify><id xsi:type=""xsd:string"">blah</id><from xsi:type=""xsd:string"">from </from><subject xsi:type=""xsd:string"">subject</subject><details xsi:type=""xsd:string"">details</details></tns:notify></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>"
Call http.Open("POST", URL)
http.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml"
http.SetRequestHeader "SOAPAction", " "
http.Send envelope
MsgBox http.ResponseText

Hi,
What if you need to send some binary data to the web service as well? I guess the code above would not work… any example on how do to that?
Thanks,
Luiz

I tried pasting the above into a macro in excel (between Sub() and End Sub). But, the above appears to not be complete. I think the project must also need some references or other definitions? Any chance you can post a complete example, like a cookbook, do this, then this…
Thanks!

Set osoap = CreateObject(“MSSOAP.SoapClient”)
osoap.ClientProperty(“ServerHTTPRequest”) = True
osoap.mssoapinit (“http://192.168.2.30:5050/Selling/soap/description?WSDL”)
result = osoap.get_customer_debit_balance(CUSTOMERID)’this function return type is float and it is working fine
Dim result1 As object
result1 = osoap.get_customer_balance(1010) ‘this function return type is CustomerBalance class object
MsgBox result1
I am running this code and getting invalid procedure or function call error message
when I am using PHP with SOAP and this function returning array but in VB i am getting error.
please help me to fix up this problem and explain me how to get multiple values from a function using VB.

I’m trying to set a simple macro to search for selected text in any given search engine in a specified browser from Word using a macro set up using VBA in Word.
