Hi Alejandro,

Yes we do use the HPD:IncidentInterface_Create WebService for a few
web forms used through a PHP class we designed.   Though I have not
heard of any failures on the web form submissions, and our users are
usually quite vocal when something does not work.

Question.... I know when the web service is being consumed it will
reserve a number, but it won't reserve a number if the web service is
not called, is that correct?

Michael
