Why does 'xmlDom.preserveWhiteSpace = True' cause this error?

[surfoman]

Does anyone know why I keep getting this error - 'Property let procedure not defined and property get procedure did not return an object' , for the code below, it seems to have occured since I added the line ' xmlDom.preserveWhiteSpace = True', thanks for any help.

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option Compare Database
Private xmlDom As MSXML2.DOMDocument

Function initiateXML(filePath As String)

On Error GoTo Err_Xml

Set xmlDom = New MSXML2.DOMDocument

xmlDom.async = False
xmlDom.preserveWhiteSpace = True

isLoaded = xmlDom.Load(docPath)

Exit_Xml:
Exit Function

Err_Xml:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Xml

End Function

Function parseXML(nodeName As String, parentNodeName As String, tableName As String)

Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
conn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _

Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.Open "SELECT * FROM " & tableName, conn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic

For Each xmlNode In nList
