Hello,
I have built solutions using web services for ms crm 4. If I wan't to start bulding solutions using ms crm 2011(online or local) web services, can I still use the old web services?

Yes you can. This is kind of a deprecated methodology left in place for backward compatibility though. I would personally use the 2011 services if given a choice. My blog has A LOT of great examples of working with the new web services. Here is an index of examples:

Also, you will want to download the SDK, it has a lot of great examples and documentation.

Hi,
Yes you can reuse the exsisting CRM 4.0 solution with CRM 4.0 Web Service end points (Still avilable and have not removed for the backword compatibility but in the future version may be the support will be removed)
If you are planning to writing the solution for CRM 2011 later on then instead of writing the application from scratch you may preffer to upgrade your CRM 4.0 code as mentioned in the Upgrade Code Guide http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334220.aspx
You can access the CRM 4.0 Webservices in On-Premise and Online versions. In CRM 2011 deployment, you may access the service like:
