Sorted the problem but now I have another one (the updated code is below).

I need to be able to count the number of elements that exist in a node then
loop through the names and the values.

For example:

<CurrentAddress Years="6" Months="0">

I need to get the name 'Years' and 'Months' back with there corresponding
values.

Again any help would be appreciated.

regards
James

set xmlDoc=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async="false"
xmlDoc.load(Server.MapPath("../created_textfiles/ftp/" & varfile))

'response.write varfile & "<br><br>"

for each x in xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes

response.write "<b>" & x.nodename & "</b><br>"

'##### get elements here ########

if x.childNodes.length <> 0 then

y = -1
while y <> x.childNodes.length - 1
y = y + 1

if x.childNodes(y).childNodes.length >= 2 then

response.write "<br>"
response.write "<strong>" & x.childNodes(y).nodename & "</strong><br>"

z = -1
while z <> x.childNodes(y).childNodes.length - 1
z = z + 1

response.write x.childNodes(y).childNodes(z).nodename & ": " &
x.childNodes(y).childNodes(z).text & "<br>"

wend

else
response.write x.childNodes(y).nodename & ": " & x.childNodes(y).text &
"<br>"
end if

'response.write "<br>"

wend

end if

response.write "<br><br>"
next
