>>So for a small XML document, it probably makes more sense just to code something by hand to read the XML doc yourself, no? I was thinking that referencing v4 of the MSXML parser would be faster than what is in VFP7.

>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.
VFP 7 uses MSXML3 for this. If you run those functions which don't have MSXML3
installed an error
invalid class string occurs.
This is undocumented in VFP 7.
