Writing data on a XML file on internet

[Jpgoyen]

Hello,

I am still a beginner in VBA...
I am searching a way to write/modify data in a xml file on internet from a
macro in Outlook.
I found a way, with CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP") and get method, to read
some text data in a file, or get the whole file, but didn't find any way to
write in a web file from my macro.
Has anyone already used the POST method in VBA, getting the right syntax
would help me a lot.


Thank you very much for your help or reference

Where exactly is this file? In an FTP directory? A server side file in a
web application?

Sorry, I should have precised.
I documented myself since, and understand my question must have been
puzzling, sorry.
The file is on an ftp directory. So my question was something like: can a
http server, receiving a post request sent by my outlook vba macro, write in
a file in a ftp directory? I think. I have to read more about this, should
take a while...

So the question is maybe not in the rigth place, sorry.
But I am always interested if somebody has an exemple of POST request syntax
in vba.

Thanks.

I've done this before - using the Internet Transfer Control.
