**- Instatiate it
lo=CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")

**- Turn some of the validation switches off
lo.validateOnParse = .F.
lo.async = .F.
lo.resolveExternals = .F.

**- Load the xml document
?lo.loadXML("c:\temp\news.xml")

**- if it fails check why
If lo.parseError.errorCode <> 0
?lo.parseError.reason
Else
**- access node by name / one at time as in
loNode = lo.selectSingleNode('zimbabwe')
?loNode.getProperty("ElectionsResults")

**- or access
For each lonode in lo.childNodes
??lonode.
EndFor


EndIf

It's really down to what you want to do from there but get down to the node level and you will see what intellisense offers

I did try your example document though, and faild to load it successfully, reason being that it was not valid at the top.

Hopefully this helps
