Delete XData

(OP)
I have searched around, and the answers I have found do not work for me.

Using ACAD 2004 VBA, I have attached XData to some entities, with the application name like this:

   Dim DataType as Integer
   Dim Data as Variant
   DataType(0) = 1001
   Data(0) = "MyApplication"
   .
   .
   .
   AcObj.SetXData DataType, Data

All that works, and gets set. Other data (1000) is set at the same time.

If I want to delete the data, and the Application name, I have read that sending just the Application Name will delete all the attached data, and the name itself.

It doesn't. Sending just the "1001 : MyApplication" triggers an error of "Invalid Input".

Anybody know why or have an idea?
