hey, thanks again mate, for what you did
i appreciate your time.....

i've got a sneakin' suspicion, that for some reason, the file just aint
workin' here on the US east coast, seein' that my buddy down in WV got the
same runtime error when runnin' it. And up until a week or so ago, the file
has always worked, for the whole time i've had it, which i think has been a
couple years or so....

i've got msxml3.dll in, :\WINDOWS\system32
and in :\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
version: 8.30.9926.0
description:MSXML 3.0 SP 3

- and those registry entries match up exact too.

anyways, right now, i'm in west central NH,
so,
thanks again mate, from the utha side a tha world
                                                      :-)

Maybe somebody here on the US East coast, that's readin' this, will try the
file and post back their results.
the original file is located here:
It's from Bill James, Microsoft MVP,

Nope, and no tornados either. But it is a magical land, and assuming you are
in Canada rather than Sth America, it's not freezing either.

I can't find anything wrong with the code. I rewrote parts of it (there's is
some poor programming in it but it seems logically correct). I can generate
errors, probably from the server, on the alternative time server. But you
are using the main one and I can't trip that up.

There are different versions of XML library (what is uses to access the
web). The docs imply but don't state that it's a stateful connection. But it
works fine for me. Possibly you are using a different XML library. The
filename is msxml3.dll and there were different versions for XP, XP SP1, and
Windows 2003 Server (which also comes as MDAC2.8). MS often don't list
security patches at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.microsoft.com%2fservicedesks%2ffileversion%2fdllinfo.asp&fp=1.

Try reading these two articles
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=308480&FR=1
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=269238&FR=1

Also just check that this is the correct file by checking the registry at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.XMLHTTP\CLSID
and looking up the number listed at (I've put in mine)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{ED8C108E-4349-11D2-91A4-00C04F7969E8}\InProcServer3
