Re: Encoding switch error (FIXED)

[admin]

I found my own answer. In case anyone in the near future has this problem,it is due to the version of the XML parser. According to MS KB Article Q275883,versions 2.5 & 2.6 will give this error because the "loadXML method of IXMLDOMDocumentcan only load UTF-16 or UCS-2 encoded data".I installed ver 3.0 of the XML Parser and my error disappeared."Bob Rouse" <[email protected]> wrote:>>I am using DOM in VB to access an XML file.
