Calling Webservice

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the input, but this user has been made a member of all of
the roles defined within Reporting services. i.e "Browser",
"Publisher","My Reports", "Content Manager". I've tried all
combinations of these. No joy. The user has to be a member of the
"Administrators Group" on the machine itself (it appears?).
