Jim,
Considered that, but didn't know if I'd be setting traps for myself. Since
my last post I've uncovered a programmer's guide for the unit that details
the XML format being used. Just taking a read, so might be able to answer
my own questions.
Best wishes.

A greasy way of approaching this would be to consider using the
existing VB6 API for reading and writing to .ini files. Or, open the
file for input and process accordinly.

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.
