Do you specify character encoding in the original xml declaration? E.g.,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

If the generated document contains characters like ö (viewed as such in notepad, for instance) it should have a declaration like that at its beginning.

If this sounds like nonsense, could you provide a sample doc to make it clearer?

>I have a xml-file which I want to read and write to a delimited file.
>The xml-file contains special german chars, which are diplayed properly
>when I open the file with Internet-Explorer 6.
>But when I use the MSXML.DLL, Version 4 things don't work like I want.
