Also, drop something like this into your code after the load statement (mind the 
wrap). It will at least tell you if the XML is well formed, or if the file is found in 
the first place

Dim objErr As MSXML.IXMLDOMParseError
If objXML.parseError <> 0 Then
    Set objErr = objXML.parseError
    Debug.Print "error in XML<br>" & objErr.reason & "<br>" & "on line " & objErr.Line 
& "<br>at char. " & objErr.linepos & "<br>text is " & objErr.srcText
    Set objErr = Nothing
End If

Your oXML object does not get instantiated:

    Dim oXML As MSXML2.DOMDocument
    Dim oNodeList As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNodeList
    Dim oChild As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode
        'Instantiate the object variable
        Set oXML = New MSXML2.DOMDocument
    oXML.loadXML strAddresses
    Set oNodeList = oXML.getElementsByTagName("Address")

I don't know if you need to do anything else for the XML part...

HTH,
Tore.

Subject: OT: Parsing XML sent to VB dll


(sorry, but the XML board does not seem to be working, so I'm hoping
someone here will have some insight....)

I'm sending XML as a string to my VB dll.  The string looks like this:

strAddresses = 
<Address num=1>
     <StreetNumber>123</StreetNumber>
     <StreetDirection>N</StreetDirection>
     <StreetName>Hickory</StreetName>
</Address> 
<Address num=2>
     <StreetNumber>3652</StreetNumber>
     <StreetDirection>W</StreetDirection>
     <StreetName>Kennedy</StreetName>
</Address>

There may be up to five addresses sent, or only one.  Regardless, when the
string gets to the dll, I need to loop through the string... something
like this:

If strAddresses <> "" Then

    Dim oXML As MSXML2.DOMDocument
    Dim oNodeList As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNodeList
    Dim oChild As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode
    oXML.loadXML strAddresses
    Set oNodeList = oXML.getElementsByTagName("Address")
    
    Dim i
    For i = 0 To (oNodeList.Length - 1)
    
    If oNodeList.Item(i) = "StreetNumber" Then
        StreetNumber = oNodeList.Item(i).Text
    ElseIf oNodeList.Item(i) = "StreetDirection" Then
        StreetDirection = oNodeList.Item(i).Text
    ElseIf oNodeList.Item(i) = "StreetName" Then
        StreetName = oNodeList.Item(i).Text
    End If

'The following is where I create my sql string.  
'I've taken a lot out of it to simplify it. 
'Sufficit it to say, I'm looping through the 
'XML string (strAddresses) and adding conditions on to the 
'SQL string - specified by the children of each "Address" node. 

 If StreetNumber <> "" Then
     strCriteria = "(L.AddressNumber = '" & StreetNumber & "')"
 End If

    strCriteria = strCriteria & strCriteria
    
    Next

End If

This is not working.  To make the problem worse, I have no error
description to work with.  I only know it is not working.  Anyone see
anything wrong with the above, or have any clues that might lead me in the
right direction?  Thanks in advance.  Ryan
