one of the problems is that cute edit hopes taht XMLDOM 4 is installed. That may or may not be the case, and I do not remember that it was a requirement. The batch below can be used if you are having trouble that the server and development machine is out of sync.
RC
on error resume next
set doc = server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DomDocument.4.0")
if isobject(doc)=false then
set doc = server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DomDocument.2.0")
end if
if isobject(doc)=false then
set doc = server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DomDocument")
end if
on error goto 0
update
Another way would be to define a constant in some include files that get loaded in every page. I do this to keep track of my global constants and paramters about a site.
const XMLDOMVER = "MSXML2.DomDocument.3.0"
and on the create object
set doc = server.CreateObject( XMLDOMVER)
