what did I do wrong here?

I am trying to interface our vc++ based app server to sforce.

because I am in vc7, I don't have access to webservices through the typical interfaces of C#, VB.NET, java, etc. I have tried to use raw socket calls (i.e. connect,send, recv, etc. ) and also using higher level functions such as CInternetSession.

The latest C# samples from sforce show the login url to be

https://www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/4.0 , so that's what I'm using

The C# example runs from my machine, so I know that the login ID and password that I'm using is valid

If I construct the headers and soap body with bogus login ID and password and send it off, I get a soap response back telling me that I've got the wrong ID .... so I think I'm getting to the right place

when I construct the headers and soap body with the correct login ID and password and send it off,  I get:

ns1:Server.NoService The AXIS engine could not find a target service to invoke! targetService is c/4.0

Since I'm no longer getting the invalid login message, I must be getting past that point, but something else is wrong

I must be constructing the headers or the soap body incorrectly!!!!

anybody got any ideas??
