General Web Services Questions

[Dacuna]

Can a Web Service return a dataset? If so, what are the limitations of a Web
Service when you compare it to a DCOM DLL?

Hello Dacuna,
The question is more appropriate the other way around. What are the limitations
of DCOM as opposed to Web services :) The answer to yr question is yes web
service can return a dataset. DCOM has several issues with it, mainly transport
and security related. Web services are based on open standards and make it
possible to talk to services irrespective of platform or transport.
