Hi Tim,
Here is a link to Microsoft which points to the download page.
We are at msxml4, but that should be fine.
Remember that when you run the msi, you will probably need to select the
custom install, so that you install the sdk as well, as this is not
installed by default.

Hi David,
I found a number of download sites, but am wary of picking one at random -
do you have a trusted URL, please? Additionally, any pages you can
recommend for usage examples, please?
Best wishes.

Tim,
Essentially, the xml documents should contain document tags referring to
each element, and whilst the files may become quite complex, you should be
able to use select case to capture the various tags and their values. For
VB6, you'll need the library msxml2.X. If you have trouble finding this,
then I'll get it and send it to you, but it is free, and you shouldn't have
any problem getting it.
Best,
David.

Hi,
Thanks to everybody who's offered help. The project involves cloning an
existing inaccessible application for controlling a piece of musical
equipment to create a freeware accessible version. The existing software
reads and writes configuration files for the hardware and these files turn
out to be coded in XML (I opened a couple in Notepad just to see). Some
aspects of the project are covered by an NDA, so I'm deliberately trying to
ask generic guidance questions. The layout of the files I've looked at so
far doesn't look complex, but I need to do some more reading of the unit's
programming manual and try to generate a worst-case file to inspect. Since
there are a lot of configuration files available for this application, I'm
trying to maintain file compatibility with my new version so that sighted
and unsighted users can exchange configurations.
Best wishes.

Tim:
What sort of xml are you refering to.... For example in one of my apps I
have six different xml files. Essentially you are scanning through a
text file that has keys, names, parameters and values.

Hi,
Does anybody have any experience of this? I could code this in VC6 or
VB6 (the latter would be easier for me, but the former's probably what I
should use as the application requires memory efficiency). My knowledge
of XML is rudimentary, to say the least, so I'm not even sure what I
should be looking for in any API/SDK that offers XML I/O. All info and
advice gratefully received.
Best wishes.
