RE: Err.number & -2147221005

Never seen it before but it is perfectly reasonable behaviour and works the
same in all versions of VBScript. -2147221005 is the ole automation error
number for Invalid class string.

-2147221005 (800401F3)    Invalid class string.

So doing this with an invalid class string and on error set to resume next

>Set xmlDoc = Server.CreateObject(msxmlString)

will set Err.number to -2147221005 which is correct. However doing this

>	errnumber=CINT(Err.number)

will set Err.number to 6 which is a runtime Overflow error. So then doing
this

>	errnumber=CINT(Err.number)

will set errnumber to 6.
I don't know what you mean about 6 being a correct value.
