This:-

objXMLdoc.xml.createProcessingInstruction ("xml", "version=""1.0""
 encoding=""UTF-8""")

should be:-

Dim oPI
oPI = objXMLdoc.createProcessingInstruction("xml", "version=""1.0""
encoding=""UTF-8""")
objXMLDoc.insertBefore oPI, objXMLDoc.documentElement

Although it would be better if the xml declare were appended as the first
child of the document before adding other xml as per my previous post.

Yes the XMLHttp object has special case handling when the object passed as
the send parameter is an XML DOM.
