Thankyou martin!

Your reply in regards to parse error at load was helpful. I am not getting them yet. And - I will probably not get any utility from XMLAdapter because most of XMLs my project will be JSEE.

I have isolated one bit of confusion.I am trying to understand the Doc setproperty ("SelectionLanguage","XPath") and was not able to locate resources that indicated exactly what this guy (selectionLanguage) does.

Does it imply an external DTD or XSD will or should be loaded. I also noticed that Document3.0 offers an internal guy select a namespace (SelectionNamespace), and, that 4.0 offers MSXML2.XMLSchemaCache.4.0 that can "getschema".

So if I use Xpath so I can use selectnodes, does a scheme need to be loaded? And, if so, is there a method in one of DOM Objects that will report "loaded" schemas, or one that will "load" (if needed for XPath) a schema (like GetSchema).

I can live with with node navigation, if I need to, to access and evaluate the DOM nodes without relying on "selectnodes". Does selectionlanguage offer attributes other than "XPath"? Does XPath imply an XSD must be loaded?

Thanks
Terry
