Runtime Error -2147467260 (80004004) with xml put

[mjcaestecker]

greetings all,

I've encountered this runtime error when trying to put an xml file to constant contact's encrypted file server. I'm relatively sure it is an access issue, but really have no clue how to fix it. Below is the code i'm using with an xml 6.0 reference. The line the error occurs on is near the bottom in red.

Private Sub Command3_Click()
    Dim Execute As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP60
    Dim xml As String

What happens if you remove the parenthesis?

Object.Send xml

 

[mjcaestecker]

Returns the same error message. Is it possible that the Object.send command does not like a string as input?

 

[DJkarl]

PUT is usually an FTP command, have you tried using POST?

 

[mjcaestecker]

Constant contact specifies that you use Put instead of Post for contact update. I did manage to solve the problem, however. Just needed to create an MSXML2.DOMDocument with a loadXML (str) command. I sent that and it worked. Thanks for the suggestions, though!
