Well, you cannot set a contant's value at runtime: constants can only be
set at compile time, which means you can only use literal values when
defining the constants. You have to set the value to a variable instead.
My preference would be to use an xml document, like this:
set xmldoc=createobject("msxml2.domdocument")
xmldoc.load("p:\ath\to\filename.xml")
set node=nothing
set node=xmldoc.selectsinglenode("//FolderID")
in not node is nothing then
msgbox node.text
'or assign it to a variable
end if
You should go to msdn and read the documentation for xpath query syntax
(the "//FolderID" string is a simple xpath query that will be used by
the selectSingleNode method to retrieve the first node with that name).
