Marc, The thing you should add is CollectGarbage(), not GarbageCollect(). Sorry if I was dyslexic about that earlier. According to sources around here, CollectGarbage() was an undocumented feature in JScript for IE that would force the JScript garbage collector to take action. It was mentioned in an MDSN Knowledge Base article as a way to solve a problem where references to embedded Excel ActiveX controls were not freed.
On the invoke issue, yea ... you're right. It's just an XML encoding problem. Guess I'm going to have to get more educated on the subject. Adding the amp entity solved it. Thanks for your comments. I will be reading the WebTest list closely in the future to learn as much as I can. WebTest and Groovy are awesome.
