But, based on the error, it sounds like you have an xml file that does not have a high level root element. IE may not care if there is a root element.
Based on the error you might have a document that looks like this:
<level2> <!-- blah blah --> </level2> <level2> <!-- blah blah --> </level2>
It may look like well formed xml, but there is no root element like this:
<top> <level2> <!-- blah blah --> </level2> <level2> <!-- blah blah --> </level2> </top>
More info appreciated.
Thanks, Dave

Hi;
I am getting the following error on well formed xml (for a final check I read the xml file with Internet Explorer and it is happy with it). Any ideas?
thanks - dave
