OK Jaime,

you got me there <g>. I have not used MSXML2.DOMDocument (my one and only XML file I've created is an update log and I build the file using FWRITE()).

Wish I could help more.
James

>>>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 )
>>>Response.Write( xmlOut )

>>>My problem is with the creation of the xmlOut string. How do i create it? I would like to avoid having to create a .xml file then send the FILETOSTR of the file, but rather just work on memory.
