hi gurus

New to xml so go easy on me. I know that for some of you this is no problem.

I have an xml file:

<root>
<social>xxx-xx-xxxx</social>
<color>black and white</color>
<name>
<first> john</first>
<Last> smith</Last>
</name>
</root>

I need to read the xml file and browse through all the nodes so I can get values on specific rules

Need your help thanks

so far I have the following:

Code:
Dim nodelist As MSXML.IXMLDOMNodeList
Dim rootele As MSXML.IXMLDOMElement
Dim xNode As MSXML.IXMLDOMNode
Set xDoc = New MSXML.DOMDocument

If xDoc.Load("C:\SHC_2005_07_28_16_10_59_165_SINGLE.xml") Then
      MsgBox "loaded"
   Set rootele = xDoc.documentElement
   
  Set nodelist = rootele.childNodes
     
   For Each xNode In nodelist
    'do something
   next xNode
end if
hoW do I browse through the child to get values.

the code above gives me the childs of the root (social,color,name) but it does not bring up the child of name (first,last)

Thanks again in advance
