Thanks... you just gave me an Idea, I can extract the DTD reference prior to @DOM'n it then place it back in prior to writing it back.

If the DTD is declared in the instructions prolog of the XML file, then the parser wants to read it - the only way to get the parser to ignore it is to remove the declaration from the XML. That's how XML parsers work. If you don't want to edit the TAF, then I would suggest a different XML file for testing. Here's a sample for you: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en- us/xmlsdk/html/xmconsamplexmlfileforxpathsyntaxinventoryxml.asp Hope this helps.
