i dont know if its my computer or what... but I cant get the below
code to work... when i do the WScript.echo xmlfile.xml.. to view the
content of the XML file it returns a blank box. But if you run the
program on my boss' computer it works fine. I'm also getting an error
code: 800A01A8 on the last line of the code. " Object Required" which
i have no clue how to solve this problem either.. I've downloaded
every XML update and whatnot available on Microsoft's website and
still have the same problems... yet it works on my boss' computer....
please help.... any suggestions?

Option Explicit

Dim xmlFile, xmlConfig, Xsep

Set xmlFile= CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0")

xmlfile.load "C:\BankingTs\Transcrypt.xml"

WScript.echo xmlFile.xml

Set xmlconfig = xmlfile.documentElement

Set XSep = xmlconfig.SelectSingleNode("//Setup/Separator")
wscript.echo XSep.text

thanks!

As well as Martin's advice perhaps you don't have
"C:\BankingTs\Transcrypt.xml" on your machine or the account running the
code has insufficient access rights.

Anyway at least the problem is this way around, my normal one is that it
runs fine on my dev machine but not on my boss's :)

I figured out the problem never mind....there was an unmatched tag in
the XML file ...therefore an error in the XML file resulted in the
inability of the function to load the XML file.
