'Option Strict On disallows late binding' problem

[John]

Hi

I am trying to create a Microsoft.XMLHT TP object via below code;

Dim oHttpPost As Object
oHttpPost = CreateObject("M icrosoft.XMLHTT P")
oHttpPost.Open( "POST", "www.myurl.com" , False)

The problem is that I am getting an error on the statement oHttpPost.Open.
What type of variable do I need to declare oHttpPost as?

Thanks

Regards
