Here is some code from my com app:

PROCEDURE GetCars( InXml as String ) AS String
LOCAL lcReturn, loXML, loRoot, loElement
LOCAL loOutput, loOutRoot, loOutElement
		
LOCAL lOpCode, lCountry

lcReturn = "test"
*** fills in the xml with the InXml param.
loXML = CREATEOBJECT( "MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0" )
loXML.loadXML( InXml )
loRoot = loXML.documentElement
*** then i loop through the nodes of loRoot, and do some stuff with it
*** the result of that stuff should be appended to some new xml string

loOutput = CreateObject( "MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0" )
*** now i should use .AppendChild() or the like of loOutput to 
*** fill in the xml object.

I know i could then use loOutput.Save method to save the xml into a file and then RETURN (FileToStr(thexml.xml)), but that's what i want to avoid. How can i return the xml as a string?

>>Here is the scenario. I have an ASP page that receives as param. an XML string, calls a VFP COM that does some work on it and returns a new XML. This newly created XML is then sent back by the ASP.
>>The ASP part works well. It basically runs something like

>>MyVFPCom( xmlIn, xmlOut )
