Hi,

Why don't this work?

Function openXML (xml_name)
Set xml_object = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDom")
xml_object.async = false
xml_object.load (Server.MapPath(xml_name))
openXML = xml_object
End Function

ASP complains about the last row where I want to return the object.

Old question, but it crops up every once in a while so I figure an answer is worth the effort so that people will find it with a search.

To pass an object back out of a function, you need to use Set. So, for the code posted you would need to do:

Function openXML (xml_name)
Set xml_object = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDom")
xml_object.async = false
xml_object.load (Server.MapPath(xml_name))
Set openXML = xml_object
End Function
