If you've developed with SharePoint (and possibly even if you haven't) you are probably aware that it ships with a number of Web Services. What you may not know is that you can also talk to SharePoint using RPC. I talked about RPC nearly a year ago but haven't seen a lot done with it since then.
Most of the resources I've seen out there focus on the document upload aspects of RPC and while that's definitely a good case to use RPC, it certainly isn't the only reason. The SharePoint Products and Technologies SDK contains a list of > 60 methods you can call using RPC and more than a few of them are worth looking into. It also contains a page with step by step instructions for "Posting Windows SharePoint Services RPC Methods" and with a little bit of playing, you can adapt it to work with FrontPage RPC as well.
