VB Forum / COM / October 2007

Hello,

I am trying to call a local web service. I followed the tutorial here

http://www.codeproject.com/soap/ConsumWebServicefromASP.asp

the MSXML method. Here is my rather simple code. But everytime I hit
the Server.CreateObject line, Visual Basic IDE complains about
"Runtime Error 424, Object Required".

In Project References I have a lot of MS XMLs listed (v2.0, 2.6, 3.0,
4.0, 5.0, 6.0). I have tried them all. I even used xmlinst.exe to
revert everything back to MSXML3. (Even though when I go to Add/Remove
Programs I see MS XML v4 SP2, and MS XML v6). I would have removed
MSXML6 and MSXML4 had I not feared that they might be needed by Visual
Studio 2005 which is also an environment I use.

I am basically trying to call a .net web service from a VB6 console
application. Here is my code:

Public Function CallWS()
   Dim xmlhttp
   Dim DataToSend
   DataToSend = "iCompanyID=123"
   Dim postUrl
   postUrl = "http://localhost/1WayWebService/Service.asmx/
StartYearEnd"
   Set xmlhttp = server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
   xmlhttp.Open "POST", postUrl, False
   xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", _
           "application/x-www-form-   urlencoded"
   xmlhttp.send DataToSend

End Function

But the program craps out at

Set xmlhttp = server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")

I have run out of ideas. Any input ?
