8007200A "specified directory service attribute or value does not exist" error using PutEx in VBS

Hello Experts...
I have written a VB script that is supposed to add data to a multivalued attribute (that we have added to our schema) and am getting an error when it tries to execute the "SetInfo" command.

I have reduced the script to its most basic components and am still getting the error.  Here is what I am trying...
-----------
CONST APPEND = 3
set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=User Name, OU=SubGroup1, OU=Group2, DC=sdomain, DC=domain, DC=com")
objUser.PutEx APPEND, "customattribute", Array("Data")
objUser.Setinfo
-----------
I get the error on the last line when it tries to Setinfo.

The attribute has the following properties:
Syntax: Case insensitive string
Minimum:1
Maximum:4
Multi-valued
Attribute is active  (checkbox is checked)
There are no other checkboxes that are checked for this attribute.  

The thing that seems strange is, we can set values for the custom attribute using LDIFDE with no problems.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Rob.  Thanks for your help on this.. It turns out the user WAS part of another domain.. We seem to be able to update all attributes EXCEPT the new one with our admin accounts that are on the domain we are coming from....

Thanks again....
Great.  Yeah, I read that the updated schema does not expose itself across domains, so your local schema copy, which is cached, does not know of the extended schema on the other domain.  I hope you got it sorted...

Regards,

Rob.
