I was able to resolve it using the code below. Foxpro Debugger does not show all the levels of this object, and it was mostly by chance that I found references in some online documentation. How anyone gets through this stuff is amazing to me.

oXMLDoc = CREATEOBJECT('msxml.domdocument')
oXMLDoc.LOADXML(lcXML)
XMLBaseName = oXMLDoc.DocumentElement.Basename
XMLAck =  oXMLDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('ack').item(0).nodeTypedValue
XMLError =  oXMLDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('err').item(0).nodeTypedValue
