Actually, I suspect your problem is in the string you are passing as the file name. A little documented fact is that the load method of the XMLDOM looks in the directory where the XML DLL (i.e.: msxml3.dll) is located as the root, if you don't specify otherwise. So your code is actually looking at something like c:\winnt\system32\note.xml.

If you are using ASP, try this:

xmlDoc.load(Server.MapPath("note.xml"))

Or,you could also specify the whole URL or path to the file directly.

This should solve your problem.
Good luck!
