msxml::ixmldomdocument save method fails

[VC Maniac]

I pass the full path of the file to the save function. returns "Unspecified error". What might be the problem?

Has the path string the right object type? Use the correct string type!!! What is the return code? (Access rights of the writing process to target location?)

What about dopcumentation? You should check the returned HRESULT value. This page [^] contains the following nice C++ example:

BOOL DOMDocSaveLocation()
{
BOOL bResult = FALSE;
IXMLDOMDocument *pIXMLDOMDocument = NULL;
HRESULT hr;

try
{
_variant_t varString = _T("D:\\sample.xml");
// Initialize pIXMLDOMDocument (create a DOMDocument).
// Load document.
hr = pIXMLDOMDocument->save(varString);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
bResult = TRUE;
}
catch(...)
{
DisplayErrorToUser();
// Release the IXMLDOMDocument interface.
}
// Release the IXMLDOMDocument interface when finished with it.
return bResult;
}

Its working. now I change the directory permissions just before calling save.
