I am migrating some spreadsheets from Excel 2003/WinXP to Excel 2010/Win7.
Some spreadsheets use the MS SOAP toolkit to retrieve data. MS drops the support of SOAP toolkit in Excel 2010. I am forced to move to MSXML2 library.
Anyone has done this sort of migration before? Is there any tips, suggestion or best practice?
Honestly, It’s been ages since I used SOAP (Either in programming or other wise. I use GEL! LOL)
Ok Jokes apart! You are quite right that the SOAP toolkit is obsolete now. Since SOAP calls to web service are just a
POSTwith someXML, you should be able to do convert it easily.I would recommend going through this blog by jpsanders.

Do let me know if you are still stuck. Simply post the code with which you are stuck and we will take it from there.
