Has anybody played around with the Microsoft XML Parser?

I'm needing to import/export data via XML and the XML importer only works well on schemas produced by OI.

The Microsoft parser can be accessed as a COM component or through the DLL. If anybody has any code examples it would save me a quite a few hours of hair pulling.

An alternative might be the eXpat open source XML parser library, which looks like even more hair pulling is involved:

Thanks :)

Warren,

The current in-box OI XML tool is - I understand - single tier. It gets us into the XML story, abet at the entry level. If XML continues as a headline expect an upgraded of this tool.

In the meantime, if you want n-tiered XML then check out Sprez's product which offers quite advanced features, and most likely do everything you want.

Too late, I figured it out.

Hint: OleCreateInstance("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0")

You need to download MSXML 6.0 if not already installed. Version 5+ supports XSD schemas. Version 5 is installed with Office 2003.
