>>>You may want to try using SAX (Simple Access XML?) rather than the full-blown XML engine. I really don't know how much of a difference will be in memory/speed, but I think SAX is designed for scenarions like the one you are describing.

No, MSXML 3.0 has SAX functionality built in, you can use it independent of .NET. Unfortunately, you have to have VFP 7 to implement the VBSAXHandler interfaces. Not that I recommend the SAX parser for you situation anyway- to much trouble for a tiny document.
