Yea JJ but I needed to modify the real values to be somewhat anonymous besides the actual URL is on private ip space and DNS. Would not have helped in a public forum. 

Glad to say I have my simple post working after gutting it of any fluff.  Now I need to add it back in but really wasn't sure it was working right in the first place which is why I posted an open question about logical error checking. 

To me, the first two places something like this would fail on is authorization or error from open or send methods. Also I still don't understand if/how this works. Seems like there should be more.  
   Set objXmlHttpMain = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP") 
   on error resume next 

Seems like vbs using Msxml2 is pretty rare from google searches so I'm just trying to piece it together from search results. 

Going to start looking at these examples to start.  I'm sure I'll get stuck along the lines.
