>Doubtful. VFP's internal XML parsing is blazing fast. I'm not sure if they're using MSXML or not internally, but if they are they are low level early binding to it, which will be much faster than anything we can do with the late bound MSXML objects.

FYI, you can early bind in VFP7 with CreateObjectEx(). There is an example in the VFP7 help file. I'm surprised more folks aren't using it.

oXML = CreateObjectEx("Microsoft.XMLDOM","", "")
