Hi Férnas,

I was going to suggest setting the encoding/charset.

Thanks for sharing your solution

Well, I solved the problem with the accents. Here what need to be changed:

Just put “; charset=utf-8″ after “text/xml”, in the SOAP_SendRequest() function.

Bellow is the changed function to accept accents. I hope it help somebody ;)

function SOAP_SendRequest()
‘end function, body and envelope
SOAP_REQUEST = SOAP_REQUEST + “”
SOAP_REQUEST = SOAP_REQUEST + “”
SOAP_REQUEST = SOAP_REQUEST + “”
Dim oHttp
Dim strResult
Set oHttp = CreateObject(“Msxml2.XMLHTTP”)
oHttp.open “POST”, SOAP_ENDPOINT, false
oHttp.setRequestHeader “Content-Type”, “text/xml; charset=utf-8″
oHttp.setRequestHeader “SOAPAction”, SOAP_NS + “/” & SOAP_FUNCTION
oHttp.send SOAP_REQUEST
SOAP_RESPONSE = oHttp.responseText
end function

One question: when I use this function, accented letters become “??”. Any idea to solve that? thanks

Thanks for this generic code. Works great and saved me a ton of time! I’m using it to schedule several processes that I need to run in the Task Scheduler. Thanks for posting.

This is probably the most useful SOAP to classic ASP information I’ve found in the last week. Everything I’ve found has been broken and this is likely going to save me hours of more searching. Bravo to you and thanks for posting this up.

This post just made my day. Thank you for posting your code for all. It works like a charm, and the code is very logical and easy to understand.
