HI,
I have a simple VB dll, which tries to delete a node from an XML file. When I execute the code from a simple VB test it deletes no problem. But when I try to do the same action by referencing the dll method reference from ASP it fails.

Can someone look at the code and see if there appear to be any issues?

I also tried debugging the ASP code but this failed with a permission denied trying to create object error.

When not debugging the object is definitely created.

Thanks in advanced

Lenin.

Response.Write "XXXXXXXXXXXX"

lb_EditOutcome = myXML.Edit_Element(LinkID, url, Description, ls_error_String)
