When you set the content-type to "text/xml" you really need to send the information as an XML string, not a name-value list.

url = "www.receivingwebsite.com\asp\receivingwebpage.asp"
information = "<Send><UserName>Colt</UserName><PassWord>Taylor</PassWord><Data>100</Data></Send>"
Set xmlhttp = server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.Open "POST", url, false
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml" 
xmlhttp.send information

Then, in your receiving ASP page, you would then capture the XML as follows:

Dim xmlDoc
Dim userName
set xmlDoc=Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async="false"
xmlDoc.load(Request)
userName = xmlDoc.documentElement.selectSingleNode("UserName").firstChild.nodeValue
