I : - created a little 'Console Application' project - included a 'Web reference' to the lists.asmx web service in the _vti_bin of the site I was dealing with. This would be a URL like http://exampleServer/siteA/_vti_bin/lists.asmx. I called the reference WS_Lists. - Added the code you see above - finally, I actually output the xml in 'node' to a file. Hope that helps! Hi Drew,

I want to run the code you've mentioned above, but have no idea how... Any pointers? Do I need to use Visual Studio? Any information you could offer would be helpful Hi Andy,

I then discovered that the field in question is always left empty. It's a hangover from an earlier version of the software, and it's absence means there is a logical "hole" in the system.
