     The problem is that you only have the 3.0 version of the parser. The
     fully qualified progID for the 4.0 would be MSXML2.DomDocument40 (or
     MSXML2.DomDocument.4.0 when using CreateObject). Don't ask me why, but
     Microsoft went from the MSXML library name with version three to the
     MSXML2 library name with version four.

Unfortunately the fact that DLL hell exists at all with it is enough to put me off - it doesn't make it any better that it's capable of being cured. The fact is if I go down this route I'm likely to end up having produced something that works beautifully and then my boss will just look at me like an idiot because it doesn't work on his PC because he hasn't got the right version of the library. DLL-hell puts it in a whole different ball-park really - if you are competing with things that have to accept that DLL-hell may exist, well it's a whole different area of competition. Learn the simple golden rule - *early binding sucks*!!!!

     
     You should just be able to go to http://www.microsoft.com/xml and it
     should redirect you to where you need to go.

Should, should, should. If everything that 'should' happen did happen, just think what a magnificently perfect situation we'd be in.
     
     I am cobbling together a XML->HTML via XSL sample for you. I'll see if
     I can get it running on the 3.0 parser, too. I'll post back here within
     the hour.

If you can get it working with late-binding that'd be amazing. Thanks.
