Ok - I am completely missing something here - I hope someone can help. Below is a well formed XML response I am getting to an HTTPPOST. It loads correctly however I keep getting an "Object required: '[object]'" error when attempting to grab the value from one of the nodes that is obviously present. Can anyone look at this and tell me what I am doing wrong here - I would appreciate it.

Here is the Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><RETURNBX_RESPONSE xmlns="www.detroittradingexchange.com/BuyerMessages" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="www.detroittradingexchange.com/BuyerMessages http://www.detroittradingexchange.com/BuyerMessages/RETURNBX_REQUEST.XSD"><Success>True</Success><Return_Disposition> <Lead_Credit_Amount>50000</Lead_Credit_Amount> <Commission_Credit_Amount>5000</Commission_Credit_Amount> <Seller_DTX_ID>0000-1434</Seller_DTX_ID> <Lead_Date_Of_Record>11/18/2007 11:10:32 PM</Lead_Date_Of_Record> <Credit_Date_Of_Record>11/29/2007 12:20:45 PM</Credit_Date_Of_Record> </Return_Disposition></RETURNBX_RESPONSE>

Here is my code to attempt to parse the response:

set xmlObj = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlObj.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True
xmlObj.async = False
xmlObj.setProperty "SelectionLanguage","XPath"
ns = "www.detroittradingexchange.com/BuyerMessages"
xmlObj.setProperty "SelectionNamespaces","xmlns:ns='" & ns & "'"
bLoaded = xmlObj.loadxml(xmlPing.ResponseText)

If bLoaded Then


ERROR --> credit_approved = xmlObj.documentElement.selectSingleNode("/*/ns:Success").text

I am missing something - the elements are clearly there! I am getting the same errors when attempting to parse these lines as well:

credit_amount = xmlObj.selectSingleNode("/*/ns:Return_Disposition/ns:Lead_Credit_Amount").text
commish_amount = xmlObj.selectSingleNode("/*/ns:Return_Disposition/ns:Commission_Credit_Amount").text

Are you binding the "ns" namespace prefix correctly in your application?

I believe so, yeah... The original HTTPPost looks like this followed by exactly what is above.

credit_packet = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8""?>" & _
                "<RETURNBX_REQUEST xmlns=""www.detroittradingexchange.com/BuyerMessages"" " & _
                "xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" " & _
                "xsi:schemaLocation=""www.detroittradingexchange.c om/BuyerMessages " & _
                "http://www.detroittradingexchange.com/BuyerMessages/RETURNBX_REQUEST.XSD"">" & _
                "<RESERVATION_ID>6fedb5ce-b5e9-434e-9b23-a9cb0ca7642d</RESERVATION_ID>" & _
                "<RETURN_REASON>DUPLICATE_LEAD</RETURN_REASON>" & _
                "</RETURNBX_REQUEST>"

final_credit_packet = "User=000011&Password=123User&Message=" & credit_packet & "&DebugMode=false"

set xmlPing = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
xmlPing.Open "POST", ping_url, False
xmlPing.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
xmlPing.Send(final_credit_packet)
